PolyCycle® Spools, Product Stewardship Program
As part of EPL's commitment to reducing waste, in 2023 we introduced a product stewardship scheme. The PolyCycle® Spool is replacing cardboard spools on our high volume products.
The PolyCycle® Spool is designed to be reused over and over again. When it reaches its end of life, send it back to us and we will regrind it up so the raw material will be used in either PolyCycle® Spool or other products we manufacture.
