How to Recycle Your EcoRain® Poncho
-
Our product is designed for landfill diversion, hence proper recycling practices are important (see our FAQs for why we chose recyclability over compostability for end-use).
-
Recycle your poncho at a drop-off location (choose "#4 Plastic Film" or "#4 Plastic Bags") and recycle your packaging curbside. Please make sure both are as dry as possible before recycling, as it'll improve their ability to be repurposed

EcoRain® Ponchos can be recycled the same way as grocery bags, at a location near you. If you already know how to recycle grocery bags, great! If not, click here to learn more
