How we pack, and how to deal with it after
Packaging
Fresh pasta has to travel cold, so every order ships in an insulated box with ice packs that hold a safe chilled temperature through the delivery run. When your box arrives, put everything in the fridge straight away.
Here is what each part is and what to do with it once you have unpacked.
What's in the box
Wool Insulation
Keeps everything cool during transport.
What to do with it
Remove the soft-plastic wrap off the wool (it's there to keep the fibres off your food) and drop it in a soft-plastics bin at your supermarket. The wool can go in your compost, or in the bin, where it breaks down naturally.
We reuse ours as weed mat in the planter beds or as tree rings around our fruit trees.
Ice Packs
Tucked around your order to keep it cold during trasnport.
What to do with it
Pop them back in your freezer to reuse. Or defrost, squeeze the gel into the bin, and recycle the film with soft plastics.
Inner box
Inside the box, holding your pasta and sauce.
What to do with it
Flatten your box and place out with your kerbside recycling.
Sauce Pouches
Inside the box, holding your sauce.
What to do with it
Rinse and dry, recycle them with soft plastics.
Pasta Cellophane
Inside the box, holding your pasta.
What to do with it
The clear film around your pasta is NatureFlex, a compostable film made from wood-pulp cellulose, not plastic. Pop it in your home compost or food-scraps bin. It is certified home and industrially compostable, so it breaks down.
Please do not put it in soft-plastics recycling.
Pottle
Inside the box, holding your topping or butter.
What to do with it
Rinse and dry, recycle them with your normal plastics.
Recycling rules vary by council. When in doubt, check your local guidelines.
