our recycling program

Exciting New Salt Sack Recycling initiative from Algon in partnership with Dominion Salts ! 🌿

Dominion Salt, Pacific Pool Salt and Aqua Health Pool Salt packages with instructions for handling and recycling sacks

You can now recycle your Pacific Pool Salt & AquaHealth Pool Salt sacks—just like you do with your Algon containers. Let’s work together to reduce waste, reuse and recycle!

Algon is now collecting your empty Pool Salt Sacks for recycling from your Pool supply store. It’s simple and impactful.

Here’s how:

Step 1:
Empty the salt and flatten the bag.

Step 2:
Remove the thread from the top and bottom of the bag.

Step 3:
Return the empty sack to the store where you purchased it.

Join us in making a difference—one sack at a time! Your small action can create a big environmental impact.

Together, we can make recycling effortless and eco-friendly!

Algon Recycling & Repurposing Programme

Four years ago, we set out on a mission: to recycle as many ALGON bottles as possible and make a real difference-
one bottle at a time!

To kick things off, we teamed up with some of our amazing cornerstone retailers, placing ALGON-branded recycling bins in stores to encourage customers to return their empty bottles. The first season started slow, but we stuck with it, and over the next three years, we saw fantastic progress!

Thanks to ongoing promotion and training for shop staff, the programme became a win-win. Customers bring back their empty bottles, doing their part for the planet, and at the same time, they’re back in-store—ready to top up on their favourite ALGON products! It’s a simple way to boost sales while promoting sustainability.

Want to be part of the movement? Let’s keep Saving the World One Bottle at a Time! 🌍♻️

Repurposing Programme

We have also this season started a “repurposing programme”. This involves taking a percentage of our ALGON returned bottles and turning them into promotional scoops. These have proven extremely popular as promotional giveaways. Once again greatly appreciated by our retailers who, in turn, give these away to their customers as a gift.

If you are reading this and have some ideas how we can improve on an already successful programme please do contact us. We are passionate, and extremely excited about the endless possibilities of this project and certainly welcome any feedback to continually improve.
