REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

We're always working closely with suppliers to find new ways to reduce packaging, while making sure your food stays fresh during transit.

BOX

What is it made of?

Our boxes are made from 70% recycled paper & 30% virgin kraft paper - they are 100% recyclable.

Where should it go?

Place your box in your recycling bin after use.

ICE PACKS

What is it made of?

The outer tubing of each gel pack is made from Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE4) and is 100% Recyclable. The contents are a non-toxic gel made up of 99.5% water and 0.5% Sodium Polyacrylate. This is easily disposed of if you no longer want to reuse your ice pack.

Where should it go?

To dispose of the gel, simply empty the contents into your household bin. Alternatively, you could add the gel to your garden bed as it helps soil to retain water!

The plastic outer layer is 100% recyclable at most major supermarkets.

PAPER BAGS

What is it made of?

Our dish bags are 100% recyclable and are manufactured in a FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Program for the Endorsement of Forestry Certification) accredited facility.

Where should it go?

Place your dish bags in your paper recycling bin after use.

INGREDIENTS PACKAGING

What is it made of?

Our ingredient packaging is made from both firm and soft plastic - mostly LDPE and polypropylene.

Where should it go?

You can dispose of our soft-plastic bags at most major supermarkets.

Our hard plastic items (containing curry pastes, olives, anchovies etc) are accepted by most city recycling programs, check your local recycling information to confirm.

INSULATION BAGS

What is it made of?

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), a lightweight soft plastic made from 85% sustainable sugarcane that is 100% recyclable. We combine all dairy and protein for your meals into one single bag to reduce packaging.

Where should it go?

Reuse your bags as bin liners for other recyclable soft plastics. You can then dispose of our insulation bags at most major supermarkets.

Some 'compostable' packaging does not actually biodegrade unless specific conditions are met. Often, starch based bags do not compost on their own or in the ocean, and these cannot be reused and recycled like our bags can.

We are a proud member of the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO). This means we have made a commitment to continuously cut down on problem packaging and waste, and agree to an annual audit of our packaging practices.

We at Marley Spoon care deeply about reducing our environmental impact whilst still delivering the freshest ingredients to your doorstep, so we are remaining transparent to show you what we are working on!
