Essential for Women/Men/Kids: The multivitamin bottles are 100% post-consumer recycled plastic and are made of #1 PET plastic, which is highly recyclable curbside. Please check your local recycling rules. The caps on our multivitamin bottles are #5 and are made of polypropylene. Please check with your local jurisdiction to see if they are recyclable, as material and size restrictions vary based on which city you live in.

Synbiotic+: The current packaging is made from mixed materials, including polypropylene for the bottle and 100% PCR polypropylene for the cap. The bottles are not currently recyclable due to their mixed materials, but we are continually looking for updated formats that allow us to still deliver a fresh product in a sustainable format.

HyaCera™: The current packaging is made from mixed materials, including polypropylene for the bottle and 100% PCR polypropylene for the cap. The bottles are not currently recyclable due to their mixed materials, but we are continually looking for updated formats that allow us to still deliver a fresh product in a sustainable format.

Essential Protein: The protein bag is made of BPA-free plastic, and the scoop is 100% PCR (post-consumer resin). While the protein bags are not recyclable, the scoop is widely recycled in most cities. We chose this packaging format for a variety of reasons (first, to ensure the product's quality is preserved), but also because shipping large tubs of plastic (even if recycled) has a high carbon footprint. When conducting a Life Cycle Assessment (a scientific tool that helps us understand what packaging format is sustainable), we found there is 89% less carbon used to produce one pouch vs. a 96 fl oz PET plastic container.†

Tab inserts: The tabs inserts are made from EVA plastic. Recycling rules can vary widely based on where you live, but based on our analysis, these are recycled in most jurisdictions.

Mailers: Our mailers are made with 100% plant fibers and recycled newsprint. Recycling rules can vary widely based on where you live, but based on our analysis, these are recycled in most jurisdictions.

*Please note: For packaging that is not currently curbside recyclable (Synbiotic, HyaCera, Essential Protein), we have a takeback program with Pact Collective where you can ship items directly by printing a label from their website or drop them off at a Credo store near you.
