People go to Costco for its classic food courts and affordable, tasty snacks.
While some menu items have changed in recent years, members can always count on a few old favorites for post-shopping rewards.
The store's legendary $1.50 hot dogs and pizza, which cost $1.99 per slice or $9.95 for an 18', have been on the menu since they debuted.
The April issue of Costco Connection magazine features Costco's Kirkland Signature pizza boxes with a new How2Recycle label as part of the company's sustainability efforts.
A 2020 Recycling Partnership research highlighted in Costco's sustainable packaging section prompted this move.
"The research found that even moderate amounts of grease on the packaging still allowed for recycling," Costco said.
The standardized How2Recycle stamp tells consumers which goods can be recycled and provides straightforward instructions.
Costco, one of the nation's largest pizza businesses, makes and sells a lot of cardboard boxes, thus the labeling is aimed to reduce waste.
However, the retailer's October 2021 Facebook post on the shift raised questions about pizza box recycling and regulations.
