How Do I Recycle?

All SignorBIO tableware is completely recyclable.

Our range of wooden cutlery and plates is 100% natural and can be placed in the separate collection of wood; the dishes, glasses and lunch boxes in sugar cane fiber are 100% compostable and dissolve in nature in 3 months.

The line of cardboard cups and bowls are completely recyclable in paper. The few plastic elements, limited to a few lids, are 100% recyclable in the separate collection of plastic.

Pay attention to the disposal codes that you find on the labels and consult this page to verify the correct disposal of our products in the separate collection. Also remember to always refer to the disposal rules of your municipality.

SignorBIO - FOR50

Code for the delivery of wood. The disposal rules for wood are particularly fuzzy.

At the moment, technically, wood does not comply with the European standard UNI EN 13432:2002 in relation to compostable materials because it has longer decomposition times than required by the standard. In fact, wood, as a 100% natural material, is by definition to be considered biodegradable, but the disposal rules differ significantly according to the Municipality that manages it.

In this case, it is therefore essential to refer to the disposal rules of your Municipality.

SignorBIO - PAP21

Code for the delivery of sugarcane fiber and non-corrugated board commonly used for food boxes.

The material identified by the code PAP21 can be disposed of in the separate collection of paper or organic waste, as it decomposes in nature within 3 months.

In any case, it is always good practice to check the disposal rules of your municipality.

SignorBIO - PAP22

Paper delivery code, commonly used for food packaging and straws.

The material identified by the PAP22 code must be disposed of in the separate paper collection.

In any case, it is always good practice to check the disposal rules of your municipality.

SignorBIO - CPAP81

Commonly used for cookie bags and some pasta packages.

The letter C indicates that the material in question is a composite (polylaminate). The acronym PAP, on the other hand, indicates that the bag is mainly made of paper. The number 81 indicates which other material the polylaminate is made of (in this case plastic). Therefore, as it is mainly composed of paper, the material identified by the code C/PAP 81 must be sent to separate paper collection.

In any case, it is always good practice to check the disposal rules of your municipality.
