BOX
What is it?
Our boxes are 100% recyclable. They are made from 70% recycled cardboard content.
Where should it go?
Flatten the box and place the material in the recycling bin.
It’s our top priority to make sure you receive the best quality ingredients in your orders. We pack your boxes with cooler bags and ice packs to keep chilled items cold and all ingredients fresh, all the way to your door.

The outer layer of the ice packs is made from low density polyethylene (LDPE4). The substance inside the ice packs is a non-toxic gel that is disposable, which is made up of 99.5% water and 0.5% sodium polyacrylate.
To dispose of the gel inside the ice packs, simply empty the contents into your household bin. The gel helps soil to retain water, so you can also empty it into your backyard or pot plants, too! You can also keep the ice packs in your freezer for the next time you need one.
Please note that while previously it was possible to recycle soft plastics, like the outer layer of these ice packs, via REDcycle drop-off points in supermarkets around Australia, REDcycle has now paused their supermarket soft plastics recycling program. For now, we recommend that the outer plastic layer should be disposed of in your home rubbish bin following your local council guidelines.
The insulation bags are used to keep perishable items fresh in your orders and are made from 30% recycled materials.
You can keep and re-use the insulation bags when you need to keep food items cold!

Place the paper bags and the bag stickers in the recycling bin.
Our ingredient packets are made from either firm or soft plastic, from mostly low density polyethylene and polypropylene.
The hard plastic containers – that contain ingredients like olives and curry pastes – are accepted as recyclables by most city recycling programs. Please check your local recycling information to confirm if they can be added to your recycling bin. Make sure they are empty and clean inside before recycling.
