Recycling Information and Instructions

HOW TO RECYCLE

CARDBOARD BOX

Simply flatten the box and recycle with the rest of your cardboard and paper.

NATURAL FIBER LINERS

Our natural fiber pads are fully recyclable. Remove them from the poly film and recycle where #60 cotton is accepted.

Some widely-known companies that accept textiles in this form are H&M, The North Face, and Columbia. Drop off the liners at participating stores.

For those who don’t have convenient access to these drop-off locations, you can send the liners back to us, or even throw them away as they will fully biodegrade.

POLY FILM

After separating the poly film from the natural fiber pads, the poly film can be recycled with the rest of your #4 plastic bags.

GEL PACKS

Let the gel packs melt completely, snip the corner off a pack, empty into trash and recycle the outer covering with other #4 plastics.

The average American disposes 70 pounds of textiles every year.

Thanks to powerful and innovative companies like H&M, The North Face, and Columbia, recycling textiles has become even more accessible.

***Due to COVID-19, individual stores may have temporary policy changes so be sure to check with that store before dropping the liners off.***

LET'S CLOSE THE LOOP

H&M collects textiles from “ANY brand, in ANY condition” – and this includes our KODIAKOTTON® natural fiber liners!

All you have to do is go to an H&M store and drop off the liners at the front desk. To locate a store near you, follow this link.

CLOTHES THE LOOP

The North Face’s “Clothes the Loop” Recycling Program collects textiles in “any brand, any condition”.

You can bring our liners to a participating store and drop them in a designated bin. You can locate The North Face retail stores here and their outlet stores here.

EPS Foam is more sustainable than you might think.

Foam has a stigma for being “terrible for the environment”, but people forget that EPS foam is 100% recyclable. Foam is being recycled every day, and access to recycle programs is steadily increasing. Click the link below to find a foam recycle center near you.

REUSE

Our liners (with and without the poly film) are nontoxic, hypoallergenic, and have no evidence of carcinogenicity.

They are safe to reuse in many applications – such as a weed barrier, in a compost, and even as a pet bed. Get creative!

RECYCLE

Each piece of the KODIAKOTTON® natural fiber insulated shipper is recyclable. Follow the instructions above to properly recycle the packaging.

BIODEGRADABLE

Our Natural Fiber Pads are biodegradable and compostable as tested by an independent third-party laboratory using ASTM test standards.

Because cotton is a plant, it follows a normal cycle of nature. It will naturally go back to the soil from which it was made.
