Does Huel offer a pouch return or recycling scheme?

Confirms that Huel does not currently offer a pouch recycling scheme, with context on why and what is being explored.

Written by Jamie Forbes

Not currently β€” Huel does not run a pouch return or recycling scheme at this time.


Why Not?

Huel's powder pouches are made from multi-layer flexible materials that are not widely accepted by standard household recycling streams. Recyclability of these materials depends heavily on local recycling facilities, which vary significantly by region.


What Huel Is Doing

Huel is actively exploring options to make its packaging easier to recycle as part of its broader sustainability commitments β€” including reviewing pouch materials and investigating new packaging technologies for 2025 and beyond.


In the Meantime

  • Check your local council's recycling guidelines to see whether flexible plastic pouches are accepted in your area

  • Some supermarkets and retailers offer flexible plastic collection points β€” check whether your nearest store participates
