Recycle

At CORE Foods, we pride ourselves on delivering fresh bars to you while considering the environment.

We opt for eco-friendly packaging materials for our standard insulated shipping and choose to reduce, reuse and recycle whenever possible.

If you choose the standard insulated shipping option, please use the below guidelines to dispose of the shipping materials responsibly.

We also offer an Eco-Friendly Shipping option which will skip the insulation, ice packs, & plastic bag and ship your CORE Bars in just the recyclable cardboard box.

Your CORE Bars will ship frozen from our warehouse and thaw in transit. If they arrive at room temperature, that’s okay! CORE Bars stay fresh at room temperature for up to one week. Just pop them in the fridge when they arrive until you’re ready to enjoy! Please select Eco-Friendly Shipping at checkout for this option.
