If you no longer wish to reuse your ice packs, they can be easily recycled. The contents are a non-toxic, non-hazardous gel that can be disposed of into your household bin or onto your garden bed to help soil retain water.
Please note that while previously it was possible to recycle soft plastics, like the outer layer of these ice packs, via REDcycle drop-off points in supermarkets around Australia, REDcycle has now paused their supermarket soft plastics recycling program. For now, we recommend that the outer plastic layer should be disposed of in your home rubbish bin following your local council guidelines.
Take cardboard boxes to the closest recycling bin so they can live on.
Our hard plastic items (the containers containing sauces etc) are accepted by most city recycling programs, check your local recycling information to confirm if they can be added to your recycling bin.
