That’s why our durable rHDPE multipacking handles are made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic – repurposed from post-consumer milk jugs and household containers – and are fully recyclable, supporting a circular economy.

Since using 100% recycled HDPE, we've repurposed over 1.2 billion milk jugs and saved over 167 million pounds of plastic from landfills and oceans, as verified by third-party life cycle analysis. Now that's a closed loop in action🙌
