Natural Cardboard
So first off, our boxes are made from natural kraft cardboard, which is not only rigid and secure thanks to the three layers of paperboard used, but also has a smooth hand-feel, which we really like.
90% Recycled Material
The cardboard used for our packaging is made from 90% recycled content. ‘Why not 100%?’ you might think — we can relate, as we asked the same question. Turns out that cardboard made completely from recycled material isn’t durable enough to ship our goods in them and feel secure.
Tree-Positive Packaging
So what’s better than using 100% recycled material just because it sounds great, but end up with a feeble box that feels wobbly? Find something else actually is great! How about planting trees instead? When we learned about that option, we were all for it and donate to non-profit One Tree Planted. For every box made for us, they plant trees in North America, Latin America, Africa and Asia so that more trees are planted than used.
Water-based Ink
The ink is water-based, which creates a good contrast in printing, but is also key in making the boxes fully compostable (meaning: without releasing any toxins into the soil).
