How do I know if I can recycle my packaging?
We know most Kiwi’s want to do the right thing when it comes to recycling, but confusion is still holding many people back. With so many different logos and recycling labels on products, it hasn’t always been clear what goes where.
Where Can I find Helpful Information?
Kerbside recycling across New Zealand is standardised, but council facilities can vary, so the best place to start is your local council for the most accurate information in your area.
Recycling Sanitarium Products
Much of our packaging displays the ARL, an evidence-based system for Australasia that uses simple icons to show what can be recycled, and how.
This labelling system provides clear, easy-to-understand instructions on pack, helping you recycle our cereal packaging correctly and with confidence. It’s a small change that can make a meaningful difference to reducing waste and protecting the planet.
Next time you’re recycling look out for these recycling symbols – they are designed to make the right choice simple.

Tips on Recycling Your Sanitarium Packaging:
- Kerbside recycling bins for cereal boxes or plastic UP&GO bottles
- Soft plastics through the NZ Soft Plastics Recycling Scheme
- So Good and UP&GO cartons through Food and Beverage Cartons
- Marmite jars should have their cap removed. These can be recycled through the Caps and Lids Recycling Scheme
