How to Recycle Cedarcide Bottles

Recycling is important to us here at Cedarcide. Animals, the environment, and future generations depend on the conservation efforts that we as a planet make today—and that means the world to us! Because so many of you share our values, we wanted to create a short guide on how to recycle the different kinds of bottles we use for our natural, eco-friendly formulas. Below is a list of our different bottles, followed by a short set of instructions on how to correctly recycle each of them (we’ve also included what type of plastic each container is made from by listing its Resin Identification Code). Thank you for taking the health of our planet seriously!
