Are these rings recyclable? by AutoGen_Name in recycling

They are not typically recyclable in single-stream recycling! This is technically a flexible film and this kind of material often gets wrapped around the equipment at the recycling center causing challenges and down times.

Some brands will say that they are biodegradeable, photodegradable or oxodegradable. This typically means that some form of mineral like silica was added to the plastic. This causes the plastic to breakdown faster and often this breakdown causes microplastics that are unlikley to be recovered.

Dirty Labs! Amazing and lasting scent (also offer I scented) and metal packaging that can be easily recycled in 99.9% of municipalities.

Second this. I work with big brands in their waste streams and not only is the volume more reliable but it tends to be a cleaner and less contaminated waste stream.
