As part of a move to eliminate waste and support a more circular economy, Hydro Flask is introducing a first-of-its-kind water bottle trade-in program in the United States. With this program, people will be able to recycle certain used Hydro Flask products like bottles, tumblers and stainless steel products that are old, unwanted or non-functioning.
To take part in the program, people are invited to register their used Hydro Flask products online, and get a shipping label that can be adhered right onto the item to be recycled, with no other packaging needed.
As a reward for participating in the program, people benefit from getting redeemable store credit and knowing that their Hydro Flask products won't end up in landfills.
