Can I recycle the packaging?

Yes! We care just as much about our packaging as the delicious recipes that come inside it. Here’s how to recycle each part of the HelloFresh box responsibly:

Insulating liners

Depending on the season, your box may include different insulators to keep ingredients fresh. Our corrugated liners, honeycombed paperboard, and ClimaCell plant-based insulation foam are all fully recyclable.

Gel packs

Follow the directions provided on your ice pack. Otherwise, cut open the pack, empty the gel into the trash, then rinse and recycle or discard the plastic film via in-store drop-off. To avoid clogging your pipes, please don’t put the contents of the ice packs in your sink or toilet.

Dry Ice

Dry ice can be placed in a ventilated area at room temperature, where it will evaporate away. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

Dry ice should never be disposed of in a trash can, chemical waste container, garbage can, sink, or toilet. To prevent an injury similar to a burn, always use protective gloves.

HelloFresh box

Most of our boxes are 100% recycled content cardboard, and all are at minimum 40% recycled content. Fold and place with your curbside recyclables, or even compost them!

Meal kit bags

The paper bags for your meal kits are fully recyclable and compostable. You can also discard the sticky-backed label in your regular trash bin.

Plastic bags

If your plastic packaging has the numbers 2 or 4 on it, it’s recyclable. If not, you can discard it in your regular trash bin.
