How to Reuse, Recycle & Responsibly Dispose of Achill Island Sea Salt Packaging

At Achill Island Sea Salt, we’re deeply connected to our place and passionate about protecting it. That’s why we take care to ensure our packaging is as sustainable and recyclable as possible. From our glass jars to our gift boxes, we’re committed to reducing waste and encouraging reuse.

Here’s a handy guide on how to reuse, recycle, or compost every part of your Achill Island Sea Salt product packaging.

Reuse: Simple Swaps That Make a Difference

Before you recycle, consider reusing! Many of our packaging components are perfect for giving a second life at home

Glass Jars (Sea Salt & Caramel Sauce):

• Use them as spice jars, mini plant pots, tealight holders, or storage for dried herbs and baking ingredients.
• They’re perfect for holding homemade beauty products, sewing kits, or even collecting sea glass from the beach!

Sea Salt Pouches:

• Made from 100% recyclable plastic, but before you recycle, try reusing for storing pantry staples like nuts, seeds, or snacks when you're on the go.

Gift Set Boxes & Cardboard Packaging:

• Our sturdy gift boxes can be reused to store letters, crafts, or even as a handy organiser in your drawer.

How to Recycle & Compost Our Packaging

We’ve worked hard to make our packaging components easy to recycle or compost:

• Glass Jars & Lids: 100% recyclable. Simply rinse before placing in your glass recycling bin.
• Cardboard Sleeves, Gift Boxes, and Fudge/Nougat Boxes: Fully recyclable and made from FSC-certified cardboard.
• Nougat Plastic Wrapper: Recyclable. Check with your local soft plastics recycling point.
• Fudge Box Inner Liner: Compostable at home or in your food waste bin.
• Sea Salt Pouches: Made from 100% recyclable plastic. Dispose of with soft plastics recycling or at your local supermarkets and recycling centre.

Our Own Packaging Promise

Sustainability doesn’t stop with the products you receive, it starts with what we receive too. All cardboard that comes into our production space is shredded and reused as protective filler when packing your orders. It’s our way of keeping waste to a minimum while ensuring your products arrive safe and sound.

If you have creative ways you reuse our jars or packaging, tag us on social @achillislandseasalt we’d love to see them!
