How do I dispose of the packaging used in my Sciencebook order?
The brown paper (and brown tape) that your items are wrapped in can be placed in the recycling bin.
If your item was shipped in a paper envelope: The envelope and any cardboard used to protect it can be placed in the recycling bin.
If your item was shipped in a satchel: These satchels are biodegradable. Firstly, remove the seals and the labels, then pop into your home (or commercial) compost.
If your item was shipped in a padded bubble insert (Better Packaging Co): These mailers are biodegradable. For a commercial compost, remove the seals and the labels, then pop into the compost. These can also be placed into a home compost – remove the seals and labels. Then we suggest taking the three layers of packaging film apart to speed up the breakdown process.
