Labels seek to solve recycling confusionLabels seek to solve recycling confusion

When I was in Seattle for the 2012 TAPPI PLACE Conference (May 6-9; Grand Hyatt Seattle), there was an aspect of the city that stuck with me, and it wasn't the overabundance of Starbucks.All over the city, right next to Seattle's trash bins are bins for recycling and composting. But while the city offers these options for plastic packaging, a majority of people I observed just threw their waste into the trash bin.
