How to Dispose of Your Bees of Honey Packaging
I try to keep things as low-waste as possible - both in the ingredients I use and how your order is packed. Here’s how to responsibly dispose of each part of your Bees of Honey package:
Amber Glass Jar (250ml) & Gold Lid
Rinse the glass jar and place it in the recycling bin (green bin).
Separate the gold lid and recycle it too.
Vinyl product labels go in the general waste bin (black bin).
Tip: Soak the jar in warm water for a few minutes to help remove the label.
