We love seeing our members' eco-conscious minds at work!

At Wild Alaskan Company, we wish to ensure that every aspect of our product aligns with our values as a sustainable purveyor of wild-caught fish. We take the environmental impact of our packaging very seriously, and we hope this list of recyclable materials in your Wild Alaskan box will help you better understand where each separate component goes before trash day.

Cardboard - The shipping box and insert we use is made from corrugated paper which is curbside recyclable. πŸ“¦

Plastic - The foam insulation and the dry ice are both wrapped in BPA-free plastic. The plastics are recyclable curbside or at a grocery store, depending on your location. ♻️

Vacuum Seal - The fish is securely vacuum-packed in BPA-free and PFAS-free plastic. This is not considered a curbside recyclable but can be recycled at facilities that accept code RIC #4 plastic. πŸŽ‰

Dry Ice - The dry ice will naturally sublimate over time. Check out this additional help article we wrote on how to handle our dry ice. ❄️

Insulation Foam - The foam itself is entirely compostable and can either be dissolved in your sink or composted in your garden β€” Check out Green Cell Foam's website to read more about it. 🌽

Let us know if you have any other questions or suggestions about your box, and thanks again for your curiosity!
