Products ship from their suppliers. We don't control what packaging arrives with your order. Find your material below.
Packaging is the part nobody loves. You ordered something you care about, and it shows up wrapped in materials you didn't choose and aren't sure what to do with. That frustration is real.
We can't control what arrives at your door. But we can make sure you're not left guessing. This guide is here so that whatever shows up — cardboard, compostable bags, bubble wrap — you know exactly where it goes and why.

Recyclable in most kerbside collections. Remove any tape, labels, or plastic inserts first. Break the box flat before putting it out.
If the box is still in good shape, keep it. Cardboard boxes are reusable many times before recycling.
Recyclable with paper and cardboard. If the mailer has a plastic window or plastic lining, tear that part off and dispose of it separately before recycling the paper.
Plain kraft paper with no coating can also go into a home compost bin.
Usually recyclable with paper. Scrunch test: if it scrunches and holds the scrunch, it's generally fine to recycle. If it springs back flat, check locally.
Uncoated tissue paper can go in compost.
Home compostable and industrially compostable are not the same thing.
Home compostable — goes in your compost bin. Breaks down in a typical backyard heap.
Industrially compostable — needs a commercial composting facility. Check if your council collects food waste separately — those collections usually go to industrial composting. Do not put these in a home compost bin.
If you're unsure which type, treat it as industrially compostable to be safe.
Not accepted in most kerbside recycling. Do not put soft plastics in your recycling bin — they jam sorting machinery.
Many supermarkets have soft plastic collection points. In the UK, look for soft plastic take-back schemes at larger stores. In the EU, check your local retailer's collection point.
Bubble wrap can be reused — keep it for your own packing or pass it on.
Rarely accepted in kerbside recycling. Some specialist drop-off points exist — search for polystyrene recycling in your area.
If no option is available, it goes to general waste. Polystyrene is one of the harder packaging materials to deal with responsibly.
Recyclable with paper and card. Also compostable — shredded paper is a good carbon source in a compost heap, especially mixed with food scraps.
Recyclable in kerbside collections. Rinse before recycling. Lids can go in too — either tucked inside the tin or recycled separately.
Recyclable. Most areas have glass banks or kerbside glass collection. Rinse before recycling. Broken glass should be wrapped before disposal — check your local guidance on whether it can still go in the glass recycling.
Most adhesive tape is plastic and not recyclable — remove it from cardboard before recycling the box. Paper tape (brown, fibrous) is recyclable and compostable.
Sticker labels on cardboard do not need to be removed before recycling unless they are plastic-coated.
