Kola Project cardboard boxes can be reused up to six times before they are recycled. When you receive your Kola box, you’ll see a pre-paid return label with your order if it can be reusable. If there aren’t any return items, unfold the box, flatten it, tape it using the attached tape, paste the return label and drop it off at your nearest post office. You can also send us a message to schedule a collection.
Did you know that glue-based tapes are hard, if not impossible, to recycle? Sometimes using tape with glue on a box can make the entire box impossible to recycle due to contamination. We use all-natural paper tape activated by water, removing any unnecessary synthetic adhesives from the packaging process and leaving our packages 100% recyclable at the end of their lives.
We absolutely do not use any plastic package filling. Our products are packed minimally without any unnecessary filler materials, and when needed, we use protective filling made of Composta-Foam. Composta-Foam is the most environmentally sustainable and functional packaging material available. Made from corn and soy oil, Composta-Foam is certified compostable in the backyard and industrial facilities and can even be dissolved in a sink for safe and easy disposal. This unique material combines exceptional cushioning and thermal insulating protection while protecting the planet.
We are experimenting with reusable boxes are made of recycled polyester that can be reused up to 40 times before being recycled into new boxes.
No longer will you have to lug massive piles of cardboard in your recycling bin that you will not get recycled anyway. We will simply unpack the item at your house and retrieve the packaging with us for large items. For smaller items, once you recover your product, attach the pre-paid return shipping label to the box and drop it off at the nearest post office.
