How to Recycle
our Packaging

Our packaging keeps chilled items cool and all ingredients fresh, all the way to your door! Here’s more information on our materials and disposal; for details based on where you live, please visit the Australasian Recycling Label website.

1 Box

Our box is made from 70% recycled cardboard content, and is 100% recyclable.

 

Where should it go?

Flatten the box and place the material in the recycling bin. Please note that it is not compostable, so is not suitable for food waste or compost bins.

2 Ice pack

The ice pack outer layer is made from low density polyethylene; inside is a non-toxic gel that is disposable, which is made up of 99.5% water and 0.5% sodium polyacrylate.

 

Where should it go?

Defrost the ice pack, snip open the outer layer, and empty the contents into your household bin, or into your backyard or pot plants – the gel helps soil to retain water!

3 Paper insulation bag

Our paper insulation bag is used to keep perishable items in your orders cool and fresh. It is made from virgin kraft paper and water-based adhesives only.

 

Where should it go?

The bag is 100% recyclable, and can be placed in the recycling bin. Please note that it is not compostable, so is not suitable for food waste or compost bins.

4 Paper ingredients bag

It’s 100% recyclable, with a water-based barrier coating on the inside that helps keep produce fresh; the coating is free from fluorinated chemicals or additives. The paper sticker is also recyclable.

 

Where should it go?

Our paper ingredients bag is 100% recyclable, and can be placed in the recycling bin. Please note that it is not compostable, so is not suitable for food waste or compost bins.
