What are the gel packs made of and are they recyclable?

Our non-toxic gel packs are made from a viscous gel refrigerant that is over 99% water and can be stored in your freezer and reused any time. If you’d like to dispose of a pack, simply thaw it on your counter, cut the package open, discard the gel in the trash, rinse it out, let it dry and recycle the plastic bag anywhere #4 plastic is accepted. (Check your local grocery store.)
