Info on where and how to recycle Tyvek packages (fed ex, etc.)

Tyvek, the Dupont material the U.S. Postal Service uses for its mail envelopes, is made from 100 percent high-density polyethylene (HDPE), marked under the recycling code #2, and is highly recyclable into other products such as plastic lumber and park benches.
If your municipal recycler doesn't accept Tyvek-and you have more DIY wallets and laptop sleeves than you know what to do with-Dupont will take back your used Tyvek envelopes for recycling, at no cost. Click below the fold for details. 1. For small quantities (less than 25 envelopes/month): Turn any Tyvek envelope inside out, so the unprinted white surface shows on the outside. Stuff the inside-out Tyvek envelope with other used Tyvek envelopes for recycling.
