Quick answer

Honeycomb paper is 100% recyclable through kerbside collections, biodegradable in landfill, and home-compostable. It is kraft paper, the same material as cardboard boxes. Recipients flatten it and place in their paper/cardboard recycling. No separation of components is needed. If it reaches landfill, it biodegrades naturally within months. It can also be home-composted. This triple end-of-life option makes it the most sustainable protective packaging available.
