General waste
Remove the sealing tape from the packaging that can be recycled or composted and dispose of in your general waste bins.
Why can’t I recycle this?
Due to the adhesives used to keep your order sealed and safe during transit, our sealing tape isn’t currently suitable for recycling. Small remaining bits of tape shouldn’t stop the recyclable material from being recycled, but removal is best practice.
