We make every effort to ensure the environmental impact of each order is as light as possible. Here's how:

  • Product Packaging - All products are packed in recyclable glass jars or tins.
  • Boxes – All orders are shipped in recyclable corrugated boxes made with flutes (paper ridges
    within boxes) of 100% recycled content and liners (paperboard of the box) of 20-30% recycled
    content.
  • Biodegradable Cornstarch Peanuts – We will soon be switching to packing peanuts made of
    biodegradable cornstarch that decompose in water and leave no toxic waste. Other packing
    peanuts are made of recycled polystyrene and recyclable and reusable. Visit The Plastic Loose Fill
    Council to find out where to recycle them.
  • Bubble Wrap –  Made with a minimum of 20% recycled plastic and 10% post-consumer content.
    Recyclable and reusable.
  • Corrugated Wrap – We will soon be switching from bubble wrap to this void fill made of 100%
    recycled content and recyclable.
