So the girl decided to give pre-prep meal delivery service a try. Similar to blueapron and hellofresh. Everything is fine and all but then we realised there is a huge potential problem. We don't know what to do with the freezer pack. We're not sure if we can just thaw the pack and pour it down the drain or to recycle it. Seems like most people just dump it in the bin that goes to the landfill. And if you order 2-3 delivery a week, it's going to over take our bin space. And if every pre-prep food delivery service customers dump their freezer pack in the landfill, that is a fuck ton of freezer packs going to the landfill. Equal or more than what's already going there.
Here's an article I found.

- According to the article, biodegradable freezer pack already exist. But no pre-prep meal service uses them.pango
- Chill bro, climate change is inflicted by industrial level pollution and phishing, not by household choices lolgrafician
- < For each person that does this, there's someone else somewhere using totes to shop and buy food wholesale in jars and what notgrafician
- Remember decades ago cigarette brands were recommended by doctors in the US lolgrafician

- ya its a more personal choice kind of thing. i don't go out and preach to everyone to do the same.pango
- Also blueapron has 353,000 customers. If all of them does 3 meals a week, 4 icepacks a week. That's 16,944,000 ice pack per month into the landfill.pango
- And that's just one company. Seems pretty significant.pango
- You're using a prep-meal service.
A bit of self-awareness guess a long way.palimpsest - Many of the ones I got claimed that you could dump it down the drain, or compost the material. Then recycle the bag.doriangrey
- No one is recycling that bag. Just because something is recyclable and does NOT mean it will be recycled. Even if you send it to the recycling facility.nb
- They should use flavored gel in those. Make ‘em ediblescarabin
- don't dump it down the drain. it will clog the pipe. as it is the same kind of absorbent used in baby diaper. it will expend and clog the pipe.pango
- all of these meal delivery things are nothing but wasteful, overpriced shit, and they should be ashamed of itmonospaced
- I remember you used it. I guess we came to the same conclusion.pango
- I never used one directly. But I’ve seen one used. It’s embarrassing.monospaced
- Pure waste. Most ingredients are marked up 400-500% at least. Recipes are pathetic. This is what’s wrong with the world.monospaced
