How to Dispose of Your Green Cell Foam panels.
Be careful not to:
Don’t dissolve on asphalt, concrete, or other hard surfaces. The foam could cause damage as it dries.
Don’t dissolve in the tub. The starch will get slick and could cause you to slip.
Don’t put the foam panels in curbside recycling. They are valuable for composting, not recycling.
Disposal: A deepish dive.

Sometimes, our liners are encapsulated in plastic to help them stand up to condensation. Remove the plastic and recycle it at local drop-off recycling program that accepts #4 plastics. Or displose of it in the trash.
The foam will biodegrade in a landfill, unlike Styrofoam™. We recommend composting as it diverts 9% and sink disposal diverts 21% of the carbon footprint compared to sending to a landfill.
