The ice gel packs we use in your cooler box consist of a non-toxic, water-soluble polymer in a plastic pouch. They are made of high quality, non-toxic materials but are not intended for human consumption. They are not intended to be applied to the body.
We're currently working on a solution to re-freeze ice packs so we can continue to reduce packaging waste.
Below are a few more recommendations for the reuse or disposal of your ice packs:
The gels packs as a whole or just the gel may be disposed of in landfills according to local and state laws. Do not put the gel down the drain as it might cause a clog.
They may be frozen in household freezers and used in lunch boxes or ice chests to keep perishables refrigerated.
The plastic bag (LDPE) may then be thrown in the garbage or recycle bin.
Gel packs may be donated to local food banks or shared with friends and family.
