We work closely with suppliers to find new ways to reduce packaging while ensuring your food stays fresh during transit.
Our ice packs contain 98% water and 2% super absorbent polymer (SAP), a non-toxic, non-hazardous, oil-based polymer.

Where should it go?
To recycle, cut the bag open. Discard the non-toxic, non-hazardous material in your garbage bin. Recycle the outside plastic as a #4 plastic. If your local curbside pickup doesn't accept #4 plastics, you can find your local recycling center here: http://search.earth911.com
What is it?
Both our original box (pictured here) and our new purple box (below) - as well as the separator inside of your box - are SFI certified, which means that they are made of paper sourced from sustainably managed forests.
Box
Where should it go?
Both of our paper boxes can be recycled in any curbside paper recycling bin.
What is it?
Depending on where you live, you will receive either a foil pouch liner or an encapsulated cotton liner (pictured). As we transition from summer to cooler seasons, variable temperatures in different parts of the country require unique weather-proofing.
Our foil pouches are made with a combination of metallized films and bubbles. Our liners are made from biodegradable and compostable natural fiber—primarily cotton—wrapped in a recyclable poly (thin plastic) film.
Where should it go?
The metallized shell used on the foil pouch is a mixed plastics product and can be recycled at centers that accept recyclable #4 plastics. To discard the encapsulated cotton liner, separate the film from the insulation. Place clean, dry poly film in your plastic recycling bin. Place the natural fiber insulation in your paper recycling bin.

What is it?
Our liners are made from raw, un-dyed cotton grown in southern U.S climates. This natural insulation is repurposed from plant fiber that can’t be used for shirts and sheets.
