A5 - Great question! According to our customers, the Shrinker typically holds one to two weeks’ worth of soft plastic waste. Of course, it depends on your household size and shopping habits — but most people are amazed at how much it fits despite its compact design.
A6 - The Shrinker is a natural light grey — the result of the mix of recycled plastics used to make it. We don’t dye the plastic, giving each batch its own authentic tone. Some Shrinkers may appear lighter or darker depending on the recycled material used.
A7 - Yes, please remove as much product residue as possible. For items like meat packaging, simply rinse and dry them before placing into the Shrinker. This keeps your recycling clean, odour-free, and easy to handle.
