Quick guide
| Component | Material | Where it goes | Prep steps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carton | Paperboard | Curbside recycling (paper) | Flatten; remove any loose film or stickers. |
| Protective pouch | Plastic film (often LDPE or PP) | Store drop-off film bins where available; otherwise trash if your city doesn’t accept film | Empty and clean/dry. Look for a resin code (e.g., “♻︎4 LDPE”). |
| Hanging string | Textile (cotton/poly) | Textile recycling (if offered) or trash | Remove from pendant before recycling other parts. |
| Clip | LDPE | scrap | Empty and clean/dry. Look for a resin code (e.g., “♻︎4 LDPE”). |
| Pendant | Porous ceramic | Reuse recommended; recycling options vary | Place ceramics in dedicated recycling. |
How to separate & prepare
-
After ~30 days of use, remove the pendant from its hanging location.
-
Disassemble: slide off the string and any clip.
-
Sort by stream: paper to paper, film to store drop-off, metal to scrap/metal bin, pendant saved for reuse/return.
-
Keep everything clean & dry—residues can contaminate recycling.
Reuse ideas for the pendant
While many cities don’t accept ceramics in curbside recycling, the pendant can keep working as a passive deodorizer in small spaces:
-
Inside shoe closets, gym bags, laundry hampers, diaper pails
-
Near trash cans or pet carriers
-
In mudrooms, garages, or cars (away from heat sources)
When the pendant no longer provides benefit, proceed to the options below.
End-of-life options for the pendant
-
Local guidance: Some municipalities or specialty facilities accept ceramics (e.g., reuse centers, mosaic/craft programs). Check your city’s waste directory.
-
Mail-back (by request): If you cannot find a local option, email info@moodifypetus.com with the subject “Pendant Return Options”. We’ll share the current take-back or aggregation options available in your area.
-
Last resort: If no reuse or specialty option exists, dispose of the pendant in regular trash. It is non-toxic and does not require hazardous waste handling.
Safety notes
-
Keep pendants and small parts away from children and pets.
-
If the pendant cracks, avoid sharp edges; wrap in paper before disposal or return.
-
Do not burn or incinerate any component.
-
Our odor-neutralizing blend is non-toxic and IFRA-compliant; normal handling and disposal are safe.
Packaging design & our commitments
-
We specify recycled content in paper packaging where feasible and continue to right-size cartons to reduce material.
-
We’re testing mono-material solutions and reusable display components to improve recyclability and cut waste.
-
We track diversion rates and continuously work with suppliers to increase recycled content and reduce packaging weight per unit.
