Frequently asked questions
Are ClimaCell and WaveKraft liners compostable?
ClimaCell and WaveKraft liners were not designed to be compostable and should not go in home or industrial composting.
What is in ClimaCell and WaveKraft?
ClimaCell and WaveKraft panels are made with renewable paper and vegetable starch, plus a thin moisture-resistant barrier coating and a few non-toxic ingredients. Independent testing at Western Michigan University, along with research from AF+PA and conversations with paper industry partners, confirms that this coating does not interfere with recycling.
Where does your paper come from?
We use virgin and recycled paper from Forest Stewardship Council-certified mills in North America.
Is recycling important?
Yes. Post-consumer paper is an essential feedstock for paper mills in the US and abroad, and recycling paper reduces the number of trees needed to meet everyday demand.
Does ClimaCell or WaveKraft contain allergens or animal products?
No. ClimaCell and WaveKraft liners are free from gluten, soy, dairy, and animal products.
Can I eat it?
ClimaCell and WaveKraft liners are non-toxic, but they're not food and aren't intended to be eaten.
Can ClimaCell and WaveKraft Panels be reused?
They aren't designed for reuse as insulation after shipping. Instead, place the panels in your recycling bin so the paper fibers can be made into new paper.
What if my locality says it can't accept ClimaCell or WaveKraft for recycling?
