Clear Recycling Information
You may notice our packaging displaying the Australasian Recycling Label (ARL). What is the ARL?
- The Australasian Recycling Label (ARL) is an on-pack label that helps consumers to recycle right.
- The ARL explains if packaging belongs in the waste bin, the kerbside recycling, or can be recycled by following a simple instruction. It also shows how to recycle all parts of the packaging, like the lid or tray.
- The ARL is Australia’s only evidence-based recycling label, is trusted by hundreds of businesses around Australia, and appears on more than 500,000 products.
- It’s also supported by Australian governments to make recycling easier.
The ARL indicates “Recycle: Box” which means the packaging can be recycled as is, by placing it inThe ARL indicates “Recycle: Box”, “Dispose: Blister Pack”. This means the cardboard box can be placed in your kerbside recycling bin, while the Blister Pack from Sea-Band Ginger Capsules should be disposed of according to local waste guidelines.
