What packaging is considered sustainable?

Sustainable packaging refers to the sourcing, development, and use of packaging solutions that have minimal environmental impact and footprint. Simply put, sustainable packaging is earth-friendly and doesn't contribute to the further depletion of natural resources.

Choosing products in sustainable packaging is one way to avoid harmful chemicals and cut back on the amount of plastic that ends up in landfills. The materials below are great options when choosing sustainable packaging! 

  • Aluminum is able to be completely recycled without any loss in quality at a fraction of the initial production costs and energy requirements of plastic.

  • Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world, making it the number one renewable resource Bamboo actually grows faster when it is cut down!

  • Compostable/biodegradable paperboard is made from recycled paper pulp. When manufactured and disposed of properly, it is largely considered a renewable resource.

  • Glass and metal are 100% recyclable. This means that they can be infinitely recycled into new packaging without loss of quality. It is also very easy to repurpose a glass or metal container!

  • Recycled plastic is another option. Many companies repurpose plastic into new packaging. While this is not ideal (in terms of a renewable resource), it is better than other alternatives.

  • Silicone is an eco-friendly material derived from sand. The process to manufacture silicone is much less wasteful than the process to manufacture plastic. It can be recycled -in the right facilities- and is a safe non-toxic alternative to plastic.
