Your
packaging's
next life
Giving our created waste as many lives as we can, as well as recycling it properly, is a must for us all as guardians of this beautiful planet we all share.
​
So here are some 2nd, 3rd and beyond life ideas for our packaging to help reduce some of our environmental impacts with repurposing we can all get behind.
The Party Box
THE PARTY BOX itself: these are already made from recycled paper, so this is actually it’s second life already YAY!
​
The card itself is also compostable, (as well as being fully recyclable). Just chop them up small and soak them with a bit of water to soften, which will speed up this process if desired. Or feed the worm farm inhabitants.
​
The window of the box is fully recyclable via your fortnightly collection.
​
Once tattered and worn out simply recycle them (including the sleeve, branded paper and packaging materials) in your fortnightly collection to give it another life somewhere else, as something else :)
​
But before we break down and recycle or compost , try some of the ideas below to reuse them first off:
-
Use the boxes to store those beautiful pics the wee ones bring home from Kindy.
-
Poke a few holes in the bottom, fill with seed raising mix and pant seeds with the kids. Use the lid as a mini greenhouse until the seeds sprout.
-
Bits and pieces storage for the kids arts and crafts supplies.
-
Great comic book or document storage.
-
They also make a great crown if you cut, tape and decorate the unprinted side 😊
-
Get creative with the kids and build a mini landscape or terrarium etc.
-
Bake a batch of cookies or brownies, fill the box and give as a gift.
-
Re use as a hamper or gift box and fill with delicious gifting goodies (including some delicious Mallow Cube Deluxe Rocky Road!)
