"Dart has a long history of providing unique ways to effectively recover and recycle our products," said Libby Rice who manages the program for Dart. "The Next Life Take Back Program is another way we're honoring our sustainability commitments. It helps our customers with limited recycling options ensure the foodservice packaging they use moves to its next life."
The program makes it easy for our U.S. customers to ship their used Dart foodservice packaging to a recycler and have confidence it will take on its next life. All they have to do is:
- Collect and clean used Dart packaging made from paper, #1 PET, #5 polypropylene or #6 expanded polystyrene.
- Go to https://take-back.dartcontainer.com, upload proof of purchase and buy a discounted UPS shipping label based the type of material they're sending back and the size of their box.
- Drop their box at any UPS shipping site.
"Dart's First Use to Next Life™ focus is all about supporting litter reduction efforts and boosting access to recycling," Rice explained. "We look for this program to inspire others in the industry to offer similar options."
