Can these steripods be recycled?

It depends where you live I think. We can only recycle items with a 1 or 2 in a triangle on it somewhere. I really do like the fact that they keep our toothbrush heads clean even if they don't sterilize anymore as we are remodeling and it's a dusty process at best.

I do not believe so, it is a well made plastic clamp but it looks as if the manufacturer could easily make it to where you could remove the old paper type sterilizer & sell replacement peel & stick which would help.

I don't think it is practical to reuse them. We just picked them up one at a time and put them in the trash. They weren't too heavy. We ordered one each of about five different brands and did our own test to see which one worked best. This one was not the top performer, in our opinion.

Yes they are disposable. I am not sure of they are recyclable thou. I believe so.

These are empty containers to begin with. So long as you clean out what you put in, you should be able to reuse them. I haven't had any degradation from any of my materials put in (eo, coconut oil, beeswax and almond oil).

I would imagine so. They are quite sturdy and durable. (although I have never made either personally, and am not sure if you need some special requirement for them to be stored in)

No, you can't recycleIf the plates are unused, then maybe your couldThey go in the green waste, or compost yourself. If you don't compost on your own, and your municipality doesn't compost, then they just go in the trash

Yes it is possible. But in the short time that I have owned this product I don't find it to be necessary. They may be removed and stored elsewhere.

You should send these out with electronic waste and not put them in the regular trash. The lithium cells, even more so than the alkaline cells, can leach some pretty nasty stuff into the landfill and water table.

I'm not sure if this particular one is made from recycled material. I do know that others (that are listed) do say made from recycled material. One can recycle or reuse them.

They are recyclable. They have a triangle with a 6 inside it on the bottom.

I don't see why they couldn't be put in the recycle bin. I pit mine in recycle and they've always been accepted.

I don't see the recycling symbol anywhere on the cup or lid. It does say they're made with 20% recycled material, but I don't think they are recyclable.

No but you can reuse them yourself with a kit designed to refill them that can be found online

Yes can be reused if they weren't damaged during use or came into contact with salt water.

Although these cups are made from 20% recycled paper, the middle layer is made of an "insulating material". The product packaging doesn't state these are recycleable; the packaging on the Chinet paper plates does, so best guess is these should not be recycled.

They are not intended for reuse. When empty, triple rinse and dispose of properly. Cutting off top may help to recycle.

No, they cannot really be reused. You could try spraying them with water I guess to experiment but they are not made to be reused. I really think they were worth getting and did last a few months in the original jar of material I had them in, but they eventually dried out and became hard. I do live in a really dry climate thought, so take that into consideration as well.
