Firstly, THANK YOU for scanning our sticker and taking the first step towards recycling your packaging responsibly!
As part of our core values, we have promised to only use recyclable packaging when a product is posted or a project is delivered. Whether it's cardboard boxes or biodegradable foam pieces, properly recycling packaging can reduce the carbon footprint we have as a business. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you recycle your packaging effectively:
1. Sort and Separate
The first step in the recycling process is to sort and separate different types of packaging materials. This ensures that the recyclable materials are properly identified and sent to the correct recycling systems. Make separate piles for cardboard, paper and plastic. You may want to reuse the packaging yourself too?
2. Clean and Remove Contaminants
It’s important that packaging is recycled in a clean and pure state. To make your job easier, we don’t use plastic tape and the stickers we use (including the one that sent you to this page) are made from recycled paper, so all you need to remove is any courier placed plastic wallets or stickers.
3. Check Local Recycling Guidelines
Recycling regulations and guidelines may vary from one location to another, so it is important to check your local recycling guidelines. Contact your local recycling centre, visit their website, or consult your curb-side recycling team to learn about any specific recycling requirements and any restrictions or recommendations they may have.
Cardboard and Paper
The cardboard boxes, rail protectors and paper wrapping we use are manufactured from recycled material and can easily be recycled (again!). Flatten the boxes and rail protectors, fold the paper and place them in your designated recycling bin or take them to a local recycling centre.
Biodegradable Gap Filling Foam Pieces
These small foam pieces are used to fill gaps within the box. Luckily, every piece is 100% biodegradable, fully compostable, and manufactured from renewable sources.
Foam Corner Protectors
These are used to protect the corners of our products while they are transported. Again, these are manufactured using 100% recycled materials and are of course fully recyclable.
