ARE PACKING PEANUTS RECYCLABLE?

While packing peanuts technically can be recycled, they are light weight, and there is a large transport cost for these items.

Packing peanuts are color coated to let you know if they will be biodegradable or if they are mostly “earth unfriendly.”

These packing peanuts need to be recycled. Green packing peanuts truly are “green” – they are made up of 70% recycled material and will biodegrade easily.

If you are not sure what type of packing peanuts you have, do a brief test: Run the peanuts under water for two minutes. If they break down under water, you can use them as compost in your gardening, or plant containers. If they do not break down, you will need to recycle them. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) provides drop off locations were you can recycle packing peanuts.

 Using the “green” peanuts as described above is also a favorable alternative to traditional packing peanuts. Although Packing Peanuts are Recyclable, Can We Use Alternatives or Reuse the Peanuts?

 Use paper from your recycling bin to wrap around breakables – it protects your things just as well.  Collect all of your packing peanuts and drop it off at a moving company such as the United Parcel Service.  You could simply save your packing peanuts and use them again next time you need to ship something or move. DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE CAN USE THE PACKING PEANUTS AS ALTERNATIVES :

 You can use packing peanuts as compost in your gardening and plant containers.  If you have a pet, you can make a pillow for it out of these peanuts and a zippered pillow case.  It was also useful when it comes to insulating ice chests- simply throw some in a plastic bag into the cooler, then throw ice in around the bag. The peanuts will keep your food and drinks cold. Are Packing Peanuts Reusable?

When items like packing peanuts are not recycled or reused, they sit in our landfills, polluting the air and contaminating the soil. If we all took the time to reuse our materials, or at least recycle them, the world would be a better place for us all. Packing peanuts are recyclable, and reusable as well – so it is our duty to recycle them and reuse them.
