How Do I Dispose Of The Packaging Materials?Updated 2 years ago
Great question! Our goal when choosing our packaging materials is to always maximize the convergence of being environmentally friendly, having an efficient combination of materials, and cost effectiveness.
Our gel packs are made with tough, recyclable polyethylene plastic.
The gel is a mixture of 2% sodium polyacrylate (salt) and water. To recycle, cut open the pack and dump the gel into the trash. Rinse the plastic and sort with other #4 recyclables according to your local and state guidelines. They can also be reused or donated to local food pantrys.
