Our Packaging: Recycle and Upcycle

min read

We are exploring more sustainable packaging options, but in the meantime, here's how you can recycle and upcycle our current packaging.

What’s inside your delivery bag or delivery box is important to us. We know your food sustains you throughout the day. So we think very carefully about the meals that we deliver, and also the packaging for your meals.

We are continuing to explore new and more sustainable packaging for your meals. While plastic is not ideal, we use plastics that are BPA-free and also most easily recycled.

Here’s the info on our current packaging - what it’s made of and how to recycle it. We also included some fun ideas on how to upcycle our containers. If you’re upcycling our containers, share your ideas with us on Instagram or our Facebook Group.

**Meals:** soups and jarred salads
**PET plastic:** 100% recyclable
**Ideas:** upcycle into planters for succulents or other short plants
(remember to make holes in the bottom so plants can properly drain)

**Meals:** snack plates (like the cashew pub cheese, mezze plate, dolma snack plate)
**PET plastic:** 100% recyclable
**Ideas:** Separate sections make it a great paint pallet or organizer for your kid’s craft table

**Meals (left):** muffins, oatmeal
**PET plastic:** 100% recyclable
**Ideas:** Pack easy-to-grab snacks, like granola and dried fruit

**Meals (middle + right):** jarred salads and soups
**PETE plastic:** 100% recyclable
**Ideas:** Store and organize pantry items - they're easy to stack

We believe eating delicious is crucial to a healthy diet. Each week, our team of chefs design a new menu for what's in season, fresh and flavorful.
