Recycle 6-Pack Can Carriers

The ReCollective Recycles 6-Pack Can Carriers
Repurposing 6-pack can carriers by returning them to local breweries and beverage producers for reuse keeps plastic in circulation and reduces waste. Extending their lifespan decreases the demand for new plastic production, lowering the environmental impact of beverage packaging. Choosing reuse over single-use disposal helps cut plastic pollution and supports a more sustainable, circular system.
During designated collection months, can carriers should be placed in your own bag, not the ReCo Pick bag!
Accepted Materials
Included:
- 6-pack can holders and carriers with closed tops, as shown in the image above.
