From the article:
"At Kellogg, we have a long-standing commitment to sustainability, and the How2Recycle Label on our products honors that legacy," says Melissa Craig of The Kellogg Company. "We continually look for ways to educate consumers on the recyclability of our packaging materials. Consumers need clear, concise communication when it comes to recycling, so materials that can be reclaimed don't accidentally end up in landfills. This label helps ensure all packaging components are recycled, as intended, to further reduce the environmental impact of our products and promote conservation."
