Yes, the fabrics used in our beanbags are recyclable.

It is possible to recycle or repurpose your bean bag cover in a variety of ways. The most convenient solution is to find someone else who can put the entire bean bag or just the cover to good use.

Some bean bag covers consist of textiles that are not recyclable. Very few, if any, recycling centres will accept bean bags. However, if it is still in good condition a cover or a whole bean bag could be donated to Lifeline or the Salvation Army.

A final way to dispose of a bean bag chair cover is to cut it carefully into lengths of fabric for repurposing. Some bean bags are large enough to make clothing from the material. Or if it is not suitable for clothing, it can be cut into smaller sizes to make rags for your home or shop.

As to the bean bag filling, the best bean bag chairs use filler that is made from small beads of expanded polystyrene (EPS). These beads are lightweight, plentiful and subject to static cling, which can make disposal a challenge. The good news is that EPS beads can be recycled or reused in numerous ways.
