The cotton liner is biodegradable. Simply remove the plastic around the cotton liner, place the plastic in the recycling bin, and place the cotton liner in the trash. Since it’s biodegradable, it will naturally decompose instead of taking up space in a landfill. The entire liner can also be in-store recycled as #4 plastic anywhere that accepts household textiles.
- The cotton is 100% postindustrial content with no post-consumer. This is important because post-consumer cotton is not biodegradable as it has too much synthetic material in it.
- Here is some additional information on how to recycle the liner.
- If you would prefer to re-use the product, here are some great ideas on how to do so!
The gel packs are food-safe, non-toxic, and can be consistently refrozen and reused. They can also be opened and used to water house plants. The plastic should then be thrown away. We are working on finding a film that is recyclable.
If your item is shipped with dry ice, please be careful not to touch the dry ice with bare hands because contact can cause severe cold burns and frostbite. Instead, use thick gloves or tongs to remove the ice and let it evaporate outside or in a well-ventilated area. Keep it away from children and pets. Do not put dry ice in tightly closed containers or down a drain.
If you do not see any dry ice remaining, then it has evaporated (dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide), but that doesn’t necessarily mean your shipment is unsafe. Check if your seafood is still cold to the touch, and contact us if you feel that your shipment did not arrive in good condition.
The corrugated box is also biodegradable and recyclable. Here is some more information on why we believe corrugated is a great choice!
