It’s our top priority to deliver you high quality, fresh ingredients, while keeping sustainability in mind.
We do this by designing each package with a unique combination of box size, liner, and ice, which is based on your location, current weather, and order size. That means we only use the packaging and transportation resources necessary to deliver you the freshest ingredients, therefore reducing waste and improving efficiency.
Our boxes can be recycled in any curbside paper recycling bin. They are SFI and FSC certified, which means they are made out of paper sourced from sustainably managed forests. For more details visit www.internationalpaper.com/policies-certificates.
To recycle, cut the bag open and discard the non-toxic, non-hazardous material in your garbage bin. Recycle the outside plastic where flexible films are collected for recycling, such as a local supermarket or recycling center, found here: www.search.earth911.com. Our ice packs are made up of 98% water and 2% super absorbent polymer (SAP), a non-toxic, non-hazardous, oil-based absorbent.
Depending on your location and the current temperature, you may receive a liner made of layers of paper, or paper and a plant-based rapidly renewable foam. You could also receive a foil pouch liner made of metalized films and bubbles. Any liners wrapped in brown paper, whether all-paper or paper and foam, can be discarded in the curbside paper recycling bin. The foil pouch liners can be recycled at centers that accept #4 plastics. You can use https://nextrex.com/view/findadropoff to find a drop-off location near you.
Our trays better organize the ingredients within your box for a simple, seamless unpacking experience. They’re made from sustainably sourced paper fiber, similar to our boxes. You can discard the tray in your curbside recycling bin, or better yet – reuse it for organizing your fridge and pantry!
Jars, bottles, and clamshells are made of #1 plastic (PET) and can be disposed of in your plastics recycling bin. Films and bags are made of thin layers of #1 (PET) and #4 (LDPE) plastic and are usually collected at your local supermarket or recycling center found here: www.search.earth911.com.
