How2Recycle® LYTT Electric Coolers

LYTT’s single-serve coolers are packaged using materials that have been designated as widely recyclable by How2Recycle®, the standardized labeling system that clearly communicates recycling instructions to the public in the U.S. and Canada. Once a delicious Lytt beverage is enjoyed from its unique, resealable, single-serve container, drinkers should empty the container completely and replace the cap before recycling.

“As the first Boston Beer venture into plastic containers, identifying widely recyclable materials for Lytt’s single-serve container and resealable closure was paramount to our path forward,” said Jill Westra, senior manager of sustainability at Boston Beer. “Credibility from How2Recycle is a bright light in Boston Beer’s sustainability journey.”
