With the support of our fellow B Corp partner WoolCool, there is a wealth of top tips for recycling the insulation that you can discover and be creative with. Check them out here.
If you don’t have any at-home projects these may come in handy for, you can also easily recycle these at home in other ways:
Plastic Film: Recycle it at home or drop it off at your local supermarket’s soft plastic recycling station. It’s MDPE, so it fits into most soft plastic recycling schemes.
Wool: This can go straight into your compost or failing all other options and schemes highlighted, can go in most brown household bins or in general waste as a last resort.
Alternatively, for UK-based customers, we have a free returns scheme set up with WoolCool and DPD that allows you to send your Wooly Wonders back to WoolCool themselves. WoolCool will then clean, reprocess, and make §new sheets of insulation out of all your returned wool. Magic. ♻️
Please Note: Currently, we do not have this option available for our customers based outside of the UK but we hope to expand it in the future while carefully managing our carbon footprint.
How to Return Your WoolCool
If you want to use the return scheme, just follow these steps:
Once you've filled a box, click this link and it will take you through to WoolCool's returns page with DPD.
Enter where you received the packaging from (e.g. Butternut Box) and your email address, before clicking ‘Next’.
Complete the form with all of your details, before agreeing to the terms and conditions and clicking ‘Next’ again.
Select whether you would like to print your label at home, or go paperless with a digital return (no printer required) and submit to create your return. A copy of this will be emailed to you.
Once you have provided your address in the above link, you will be shown a range of places you can drop your package at.
📦 Drop off at your local drop-off location as chosen during the process above.
📦 Common DPD drop-off points may include your local Post office, a corner shop or a supermarket.
