Reducing Waste is Simple & Easy with D4D

What is Designed for Discard (D4D)?

Designed for Discard is a revolutionary program that changes the way products are made so they are discarded properly and create value for our communities and the planet after use.

Products that will recycle into new products, compost into healthy soil or create clean energy when discarded are labeled with one of three D4D
logos: Recycle This, Compost This or Convert 2 Energy. These logos show consumers exactly where to discard the product.

Waste bins are also labeled with the same D4D logo, making proper disposal as simple as matching the logo on the package with the logo on the trash bin.

Why Choose Products with the
D4D Logo?

It’s not a label, it’s an achievement.

• Each product is validated independently by experts
• No more confusion on where to discard
• Avoid greenwashing and clever marketing
• Products proven to recycle, compost or create energy
• Brands and consumers working together
• Reduce waste and avoid plastics in the ocean
• Hold brands accountable for the waste they produce

What is the D4D Difference?

• • • Shape the future of sustainability. D4D seals are easy to understand, consumers simply match the shape on the product with the corresponding shape on the waste bin.
    • Unite the community. D4D builds communities where products are designed to reduce waste, recycle properly, create clean energy and provide healthy soil. D4D brings everyone together to promote more sustainable solutions that deliver measurable results.
    • Build product value. D4D creates communities where materials remain valuable after use, are discarded responsibly and create minimal environmental impact.
    • Become a leader in green thinking, not green-washing. Unlike many of the seals, certifications, labels, etc. out there, D4D uses empirical science to determine the discard method with the least environmental burden rather than advocating a particular end-point.
