Written by Jamie Forbes

Yes — Huel Hot & Savoury Pot packaging is fully recyclable in most regions. Each pot is made from widely recycled materials and designed for easy disposal through standard household recycling programmes.


How to recycle Huel Hot & Savoury Pots

Prepare the pot for recycling:

  1. Empty the pot completely — Make sure all food has been consumed or removed

  2. Rinse briefly — A quick rinse removes food residue, making the pot cleaner for recycling facilities

  3. Allow to dry — Let the pot dry before placing in your recycling bin

Place in your recycling bin:

  1. Recycle with household plastics — Most regions accept Huel Hot & Savoury Pots in standard plastic recycling

  2. Check local recycling symbols — Look for recycling symbols on the pot base to confirm your local programme accepts this material

  3. Remove the lid — Lids are not recyclable; dispose of separately in general waste


Cardboard sleeve is also recyclable

If your Huel Hot & Savoury Pot includes a cardboard sleeve or outer packaging:

  • Recycle with paper and card — The cardboard is fully recyclable through standard paper recycling

  • Remove any plastic windows — If the sleeve has a plastic viewing window, remove it before recycling the cardboard

  • Reducing packaging waste — Minimal excess packaging; only what's necessary to protect the product


Check your local recycling programme

Recycling guidelines vary by region. To ensure you're recycling Huel Hot & Savoury Pots correctly:

  1. Check the recycling symbols — Look at the base and sides of the pot for recycling numbers and symbols

  2. Visit your local council website — Search for your area's specific recycling guidelines

  3. Contact your waste provider — If unsure, ask your local recycling service which materials they accept
