Shredded Paper Stuffing
We have upcycled our outdated product brochures into shredded padding to keep your prototypes safe in shipping. Our brochures are always printed on recycled paper.
Foam Protector for Glass Jar
This unique biobased foam is a Styrofoam alternative to cushion glass jars in shipping. It is made from non-GMO corn starch by Green Cell Foam. For disposal you have multiple options: dissolve in water, compost (backyard or industrial), or use to start a clean burning bonfire!
Packing Peanuts
These are 100% biodegradable and can be dissolved in water.
Paper Mailers
These are made from 100% recycled content, are biodegradable, and can be recycled.
Tape
The brown Kraft tape used to close cardboard boxes allows for that box to be recycled with the tape left on it.
The tape used to close the foam clamshells is unfortunately not recyclable and can be disposed of into landfill-destined trash.
Packaging for the Planet
Our sample shipments are packaged consciously with sustainable materials. We choose recycled, recyclable, biodegradable, and natural-derived materials as much as possible.
Please see below for how to properly dispose of the packing materials.
