Excess packaging is one of the biggest challenges for home delivered food and meals, and a reason why many customers are switching to brands like Kitchen Two and We Feed You. We care strongly about the environment and aim to keep our production and packaging waste to a minimum.
With our meals requiring temperature control during transit, we have sourced sustainable products to ensure your meals arrive frozen whilst minimising our environmental footprint.
We have chosen a combination of gel ice packs, insulation bag and outer cardboard box. We have specifically chosen not to use polystyrene as it takes over 500 years to biodegrade and most boxes are single use - ouch! Both the gel pack outer and the insulation bags are 100% recyclable, suitable for depositing at RedCycle collection points across Australia or in your soft plastic curbside recycling.
The gel ice packs are also great to re-use at home - place them in the freezer and re-use as required. Alternatively, you can empty the non-toxic gel solution down the sink using hot tap water to help dissolve the gel. The outer packaging can be added to your soft plastic recycling.
The insulation bag is efficient due to the outer metalised layer which acts as a heat barrier combined with the inner bubble layer which acts as an insulating air barrier, reducing heat transfer and conductivity all while also adding a cushioned protection for your meals. This can be placed in your soft plastic recycling.
The outer boxes are made from recycled material and are also 100% recyclable via your curbside recycling. Simply flatten your cardboard box and place it in the paper recycling bin.
Both the outer cardboard meal sleeve and the black inner tray are both made in Australia and recyclable. Please remember to discard the sealing film in the bin and wash your tray before adding it to your recycling bin!
