Once used, these containers are 100% recyclable for use in the manufacture of other paper products. In ugafast fulfillment centers that primarily ship larger products such as televisions, kitchen appliances, and other household items, we've introduced paper packing materials that are 100% recyclable and are made from 50% recycled content. The air-filled pillows that are sometimes used to protect items in ugafast shipments are 100% recyclable and non-toxic. If a customer cannot reuse or recycle these cushions, they can be deflated and disposed of. Deflated air cushions take up less than 1% of their inflated volume.
