WowzaBox UK's No.1 Chinese Recipe Box

We’re Committed to Minimising Our Environmental Footprint

At WowzaBox, we prioritise sustainability by carefully selecting packaging materials that are as eco-friendly as possible. Here’s how you can recycle the various components of our meal kits:

Paper Bags, Cardboard Trays, and Boxes

The paper bags used for our noodles, along with the cardboard trays and boxes, are 100% recyclable. Simply place them in your kerbside recycling bin, and they’ll be ready for a new life.

Plastic Trays

Our plastic trays are made from recycled PET and are widely recyclable. Just make sure to clean them before placing them in your regular plastic recycling bin. Clean recycling is crucial, as contamination can hinder the recycling process and reduce the quality of recycled materials.

Plastic Film

The plastic film that seals our meals is not yet widely recyclable at kerbside in most areas, though some councils have started to accept it. We recommend checking with your local council for more information. Alternatively, you can clean the film and take it to your local supermarket, where it can be recycled alongside carrier bags.

Plastic Sauce Containers and Lids

Our sauce containers and lids are made from PP5 plastic, which is widely recyclable. Please ensure they are thoroughly cleaned before recycling them with your usual plastics.

Insulating Liner

The insulating liner in our packaging is made from biodegradable sheep’s wool. Once removed from its plastic wrapper, the wool will naturally degrade in landfill. Some of our customers have found creative ways to reuse it, such as insulating pipes, plant pots, and beehives, or lining hanging baskets.

The plastic wrapper is made from polyethylene and can be recycled at your local supermarket’s plastic bag recycling point or through some council recycling programs.

Ice Packs

To keep your meals chilled, we use ice packs. After emptying the water, the plastic bag, made from polyethylene, can be recycled at your local supermarket or through certain council recycling services.

Meat Vacuum Pack

Like many large supermarkets and food companies, our meat vacuum packs are made from multi-layer plastic, which, unfortunately, is not currently recyclable.

Stickers

Our stickers are made from polypropylene; they are recyclable and widely accepted.

Our Commitment

As a small startup, we’re dedicated to making our packaging as eco-friendly as possible. We’ve chosen recyclable plastic trays and 100% recyclable cardboard trays for our vegetables without sauce, ensuring that 95% of our packaging is recyclable. However, due to our current purchasing power and sourcing limitations, a few non-recyclable materials remain necessary for us at this stage.

This is where we are right now, but we are continuously striving to improve. As technology advances and industry standards evolve, our goal is to achieve 100% recyclable packaging for all our products. Progress is being made, and as we grow, we will keep you informed on our journey to reduce the environmental impact of our meal kits.
