Recycling Our Biodegradable Packaging | NIKU Farms

February 20, 2021

At NIKU Farms, we place equal importance on the wellbeing of our farmers, livestock, and the environment. We realize the impact that delivery packaging can have on the environment and hope that you can join us in doing our best to reduce, reuse, and recycle. 

Please follow this full recycling guide after you receive your deliveries.

Cardboard box: 

Our NIKU Farms boxes are standard cardboard boxes that should be flattened and placed in the recycling bin. If you are into crafts, we also recommend looking into some DIY options that could upcycle the material. 

Insulated Liners: 

We use green cell foam insulated liners instead of styrofoam in an effort to reduce the millions of tonnes of toxic styrofoam in landfills. Our liners are nearly 100% corn starch and are completely biodegradable, compostable, and water-soluble.

Ways to dispose of your foam liners:

Disposing of the green sleeve: 

Gel Packs

Our gel packs are non-toxic and biodegradable and can be safely reused or disposed of by flushing down the toilet. Ensure you recycle the sleeve.

Inserts

Please recycle our inserts. You can also reuse them at home to make home-made paper.

Product Sleeves

Be sure to rinse the sleeves your meat is packaged in, and then place them in the recycling bin afterward. 

Leftover Scraps

Many people discard their bones and scraps directly in the compost bin, but to make the most out of your resources, we suggest freezing them to make bone broth first. Try this recipe and read up on all the nutritional benefits our grass-fed and pasture-raised scraps have to offer.
