Recycling with V-Giyan: A Guide to Recycling Our Packaging
How to recycle each element of our packaging - It's all plastic free and you can even send some it back!
At V-Giyan, we’re about more than just delivering delicious Indian meals – we’re deeply committed to nurturing Mother Earth. Our journey, since our launch in 2020, has been guided by the goal of zero-plastic and fully compostable packaging. Overcoming challenges and embracing nature’s best, we found eco-friendly containers that passed rigorous tests for heating, transport, and freezing. Additionally, we use Kraft recycled paper for labelling and ensure our boxes are fully compostable.
Our reverence for nature extends to our choice of suppliers. We partner with those who share our vision for environmental preservation. Our primary packaging supplier, for instance, harnesses materials from the pristine Nordic forests and adheres to a circular economy approach, minimizing environmental impact at every turn.
Now, let’s guide you on how to responsibly return each component of V-Giyan’s packaging back to Mother Earth…
Protective outer casing - It's not plastic!Protective outer casing - It's not plastic!
The principal raw material is cellulose derived from wood pulp i.e. paper, sourced from responsibly-managed forests. It is both compstable and biodegradable and is perfectly safe to go in the food waste bin.
Tubs and Lids - They are plastic free too! Yay!
Our tubs and lids with which we send your food in are all biodegrdable and compostable too. Always rinse them to remove any food debris before you recycle them. They are coated with a plant-based starch for lining and decompose in around 180 days.
