If you’ve ever ordered something online, there’s a chance that the shipping box was loaded with Styrofoam, to protect the item you purchased. Despite its many advantages, Styrofoam does not degrade naturally, which has negative impacts on the environment.  

Did you know that Aurora uses dissolvable packing peanuts in its shipping boxes? As part of our mission to provide Better Days for our patients, Aurora uses eco-friendly packing materials to be a greener, environmentally friendly company.  

Simply place a handful of the peanuts in your hand, run under water and watch as the 100% biodegradable material dissolves in a matter of seconds.

Although you may be hesitant to flush these peanuts down your drain, you can rest assured that they will not harm your pipes as they are 100% all-natural and non-toxic, making them completely safe to dissolve in any sink. 

Have any questions about these packing peanuts? Feel free to email us anytime at askus@auroramedical.com. You can also give our Client Care team a call at 1-877-928-7672. We are open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET (6 a.m. to 4 p.m. PT).
