2.9 Packaging recycling and disposal
Your UpDown Desk products come packaged in cardboard boxes and lined with
EPE foam
(non-
toxic) of various shapes/sizes. The cardboard is 100% recyclable and can be placed (with foam
removed) into your local Council recycle bins or any carboard recycling station. At this time,
there are currently no official recycling stations accepting EPE foam and it is not accepted in
local Council recycle bins.
Based on our own experience and customers suggestions, here are some ideas to help you
upcycle, recycle, reuse, or dispose of the packaging:
●
Retain the boxes containing frame components in the event you need to move locations;
it’s the best way to transport your frame – unassembled.
●
The boxes with EPE foam attached make great play equipment for kids; makeshift doll
houses, matchbox car parks etc.
●
Any cardboard can be recycled
without
the EPE foam attached in the appropriate
recycling containers.
●
Local kindergartens and childcare centres will often graciously accept carboard and EPE
foam for kids’ art and craft projects.
●
As a last resort, EPE foam can legally be placed into your normal waste bins.
