At Furnt, we care about more than just delivering beautiful, top-quality furniture. We’re equally committed to reducing our impact on the planet. That’s why our packaging is designed not only to keep your furniture safe during delivery but also to be as environmentally responsible as possible.Still, it doesn’t end with us. What happens after your delivery matters just as much. Here’s a simple guide to help you recycle your packaging the right way.
1. Sort Your Packaging Properly
Our packaging is made from recyclable materials like cardboard, paper, and certain plastics. When your order arrives:
-
Remove any plastic wrap or tape. Check with your local council to find out which plastics are accepted in your area.
-
Flatten the cardboard boxes. This makes them easier to store and place in your household recycling bin.
-
Set aside any corner protectors. These are often recyclable too — just check your local guidance.
2. Check Your Local Council’s Rules
Recycling rules can vary by region, so it’s always worth checking your local council’s website for up-to-date information.
Look out for:
-
Which types of cardboard, paper and plastic are accepted in your area
-
Whether materials need to be clean and dry — a good rule of thumb for most recycling schemes
-
Any guidance on bulkier packaging like you might get with furniture delivery.
3. Give It Another Life Before You Recycle
Before you chuck your packaging into the recycling bin, why not think about how you might reuse it?
-
Cardboard boxes are great for storage or even as playhouses for the kids.
-
Corner protectors can come in handy for your next move or for storing delicate items.
-
Packing paper can be saved for wrapping presents or craft projects.
4. Recycle Responsibly
Once your packaging is sorted and ready, place it into the correct recycling bins provided by your local council.Make sure everything is clean, dry and free from food residue or other waste. This helps the recycling process run smoothly and ensures that materials don’t get contaminated.
