At Riinse, we’re committed to creating products that are not only effective but also environmentally responsible. Our SuperRiinse bottles are made from 100% recyclable PET material, but recycling correctly is key to ensuring that these materials can be reused and repurposed. Here’s how you can do your part by recycling your SuperRiinse bottles properly.
Step 1: Clean the Bottle
Before recycling, it’s important to clean out any remaining product from the bottle. Give your SuperRiinse bottle a quick rinse with water to remove any residue. This helps prevent contamination in the recycling process, ensuring that the material can be effectively processed.
Step 2: Separate the Pump
While the bottle itself is made from recyclable PET material, the pump requires special attention. The pump contains an aluminum coil, which means it cannot be recycled along with the bottle. To recycle properly, you’ll need to separate the pump from the bottle.
Step 3: Recycling the Bottle
Once the bottle is clean and the pump has been removed, you can place the bottle in your recycling bin. Most curbside recycling programs accept PET bottles, so it’s as simple as dropping it in with your other recyclables. Check with your local recycling guidelines if you’re unsure.
Step 4: Recycling or Re-using the Pump
Recycling the pump is a bit more involved since it contains different materials. Unfortunately, many curbside recycling programs do not accept mixed-material items like pumps. However, you have a few options:
- Check with Specialized Recycling Programs: Some recycling centers or drop-off locations accept mixed-material items. Look for a facility near you that can handle the pump’s components.
- Mail-In Recycling Programs: There are mail-in recycling programs that accept pumps and other mixed-material items. You can collect several pumps and send them in bulk to reduce the carbon footprint of shipping.
- Reuse the Pump: If you’re not able to recycle the pump, consider reusing it with another bottle of SuperRiinse or for a DIY cleaning solution.
Step 5: Encourage Others to Recycle
Recycling is a community effort. Encourage friends, family, and neighbors to recycle their SuperRiinse bottles and pumps correctly. Share this guide with them to make the process easy and accessible for everyone.
