Most of my items are shipped using fully recyclable paper-based materials, secured with traditional elements.

• Cardboard Boxes: Flatten the outer boxes and place them in the paper recycling bin.
• Paper Padding: The shredded paper padding is 100% paper. Dispose of it directly in the paper recycling bin.
• Twine: Remove from the package and dispose of in the general/unsorted waste bin.
• Wax Seals: Detach the wax stamps from the paper or twine and place them in the general/unsorted waste bin.

Note: Please make sure to separate the non-recyclable twine and wax seals from the paper elements before placing the box in the recycling bin.

For smaller accessories, I use specific protective mailers to prevent damage during transit.

• Plastic Shipping Bags: Place outer plastic mailers in the plastic recycling bin.
• Padded Bubble Mailers: Separate the paper exterior from the plastic bubble wrap interior and place them in their respective recycling bins. If they cannot be separated, dispose of the entire envelope in the general/unsorted waste bin.
• Small Plastic Sleeves: Clear plastic bags used to protect small items belong in the plastic recycling bin.

Note: Mixed materials like padded bubble mailers must be separated to be recycled properly. If separation is not possible, they must go into the general waste.

Waste sorting regulations vary significantly by country and municipality. Always refer to your local government guidelines to ensure correct disposal and compliance with your regional recycling systems.
