The mat uses durable ultra-heavy laminated paper with a lamination finish, ensuring high quality.

The material ensures the image stays protected and is easy to clean after use.

Most laminated products are not biodegradable, meaning they will persist in the environment for hundreds of years. This contributes to the growing problem of plastic pollution in our oceans and landfills.

To reduce environmental impact, do not put this mat into the dishwasher.

It is designed to be reusable and can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth or sponge. This helps to minimise waste and extend the lifespan of the mat.

Check local recycling guidelines when sustainably disposing of a laminated placemat. Some municipalities may have specific recycling programs for laminated materials.

Laminated placemats are typically made of two materials: paper and plastic. Separate these materials by cutting or tearing the placemat along the edges. The paper portion of the placemat can be recycled with other paper products. Make sure to remove any food residue or debris before recycling.

Not all plastic can be recycled, so it is important to check with your local recycling program to see if they accept laminated plastic. If they do not, consider sending the plastic to a specialised recycling facility that accepts laminated materials.

Instead of throwing away the laminated portion of the placemat, consider reusing it for other purposes. For example, you can use it as a protective layer for crafting or as a makeshift tray for small items.

If the placemat is in good condition, consider donating or gifting it. This will prevent it from ending up in a landfill and give it a new life.
