The packing peanuts we use for our packaging are 100% biodegradable, recyclable and made from corn starch? We choose to use them to safely and securely transport our products to our customers. We also love them as they are eco-friendly and they can be re-purposed in many ways.

Here are 6 resourceful ways to re-purpose packing peanuts:

Idea #1: Use to water plants and veggie garden
Place the packing peanuts into a bucket and add water to dissolve them. Once dissolved, you can use it to water the plants and veggie garden.

Idea #2: Use as compost in the garden
Add the packing peanuts to your compost pile, water them and they will dissolve. They easily break down and will be a welcoming addition to your compost. 

Idea #3: Re-use for packaging
Re-use the packing peanuts as cushioning for any packages that you need to ship or transport  (e.g. moving houses), so your items arrive safely and in one piece.

Idea #4: Use to fill up bean bags
Another useful way to use your packing peanuts is as filling for your bean bags. They’re soft and can quickly fluff up those bean bags - you’ll be lounging comfortably on those bean bags in no time.

Idea #5: Use in arts and craft
Feeling creative? Need a fun activity to do with the kids? Use the packing peanuts for arts and craft projects. Cut them up, colour them, paint them, glue them - there’s so many ways you can use them to create 3D artworks, figurines and decorations. Let your imagination go wild!

Idea #6: Use in home decor
Another practical idea is to fill up your vase with the packing peanuts - it’ll help your faux flowers/plants stand up. 

Let’s all do our bit for the environment - recycle and re-use where possible.
