Can my Heatsheets blanket be recycled?
Yes! Heatsheets are made from metallized low density polyethylene (LDPE) and carry the recycling code Type 4. While Type 4 film plastics are not normally collected at curbside, your community may offer recycling opportunities for number 4 plastics at a central collection point like grocery stores or community recycling centers. Our 2008 Green Initiative project includes a set of recycling guidelines and a road map for setting up a recycling process for your event. Click here to download Recycling Guidelines. Are Heatsheets environmentally safe? • Our printing partner holds an EPR Certification (Environmentally Preferred Rating). Heatsheets are printed in California, where state law (AB 455) prohibits the use of heavy metals in inks or materials. Most of the inks used are water based (as opposed to solvents), minimizing air pollution. During film extrusion and the printing process, scrap and waste are recycled whenever possible. • Heatsheets are produced from FDA food-grade LDPE-4 resin
