What kind of packaging does a Wildgrain Box have?Updated a month ago

Your Wildgrain Box will arrive with the following packaging:

Box: Your Wildgrain products will ship in a cardboard box, which is curbside recyclable.

Insulation Liner: To help keep your Wildgrain products cold in transit, we use an eco-friendly insulation liner. The liner used is called ClimaCell by temperpack. For additional information on proper disposal instructions, click here. 

Dry Ice: To help keep your Wildgrain products cold in transit, we include dry ice and/or gel packs. Most of the time, the dry ice is in block form and each block is inside a soft plastic bag. The soft plastic bag is not recyclable and needs to be disposed of in the trash. The dry ice bags are not sealed; they need to remain open for evaporation. Sometimes, our fulfillment centers pack the dry ice without the plastic bags. And if dry ice blocks are not available, our fulfillment centers will have to use dry ice pellets instead.

Not all products require dry ice to maintain safety and quality throughout the shipment journey from our fulfillment center to you.  Some orders may be shipped without dry ice (and sometimes without gel packs). We are also researching the possibility of excluding insulation liners for orders which contain shelf-stable items.

Gel Packs: Our Enviro Ice™ gel packs are non-toxic and drain-safe. These eco-friendly gel packs can also be recycled as plant food. Since dilution and disposal methods may change as we update our gel packs, we recommend following the instructions printed on the exterior of the gel pack for the most accurate guidance.

Products: Wildgrain products are packaged in either soft plastic freezer-safe bags or shrinkwrap. Boxes and trays are also included in our Wildgrain products. They are made of paper and are curbside recyclable. The bags used for our products have specific recyclability guidelines, and the resin identification code (typically #4 LDPE) is printed on them. However, because these bags are film-based, they generally need to be taken to a designated recycling center that accepts soft plastics, rather than being placed in curbside recycling.

We're continuing to search for eco-friendly options, but the ones we tried haven't shipped well so far, so it's a work in progress!
