Sustainability
Eco-Conscious Packaging for a Healthier Planet
Every minute, 1 million plastic bottles are bought globally, yet 91% end up polluting ecosystems (National Geographic). These synthetics fragment into microplastics, infiltrating water sources and food chains for centuries. Our solution? 100% plant-based paper tubes that decompose in 90 days, paired with water-based coatings. Each ton of paper packaging used prevents 3.2 tons of oceanic plastic waste annually (UNEP). Switch to packaging that heals, not harms. Choose paper—nature’s blueprint for a cleaner tomorrow.
Sustainable Packaging Solutions from Source to Cycle
Explore our commitment to eco-conscious design, where every component is engineered for planetary well-being.
Plant-Based Materials
Our paper cans and tubes are crafted from FSC-certified wood pulp and 100% post-consumer recycled fibers. The natural kraft texture you see isn't just for aesthetics - it's proof we avoid chlorine bleaching. Unlike plastic containers that linger for centuries, our materials return to the earth within 24 months under composting conditions.
Breathable Inks
Soy-based inks aren't just for printing - they allow the paper to "breathe" naturally. When customers peel off our labels, they'll notice zero sticky residue. That's because we use plant-derived release agents instead of silicone coatings.
Beyond Recycling
These containers want a second life. The food-grade lining makes them perfect for DIY herb gardens. Teachers love how the crimped edges teach kids about geometric patterns. When truly worn out, they dissolve harmlessly in your backyard compost.
Sustainable FAQ
Can tubes help reduce carbon footprint?
Yes, the production process of tubes generally consumes less energy compared to plastic packaging, and they are made from renewable resources, which helps reduce the overall carbon footprint.
Are your tubes eco-friendly?
Yes — though it depends on how you define “eco-friendly.” We believe in transparency over greenwashing.
All our stock tubes are reusable, recyclable, and biodegradable. They’re made from 100% virgin pulp paper, with no plastic at all.
For custom tubes, we always recommend the most sustainable solution that balances eco impact with functionality.
If you’re using tubes as secondary packaging, we suggest uncoated kraft or white paper with soy ink and no lamination.
For primary packaging (e.g. food or cosmetics with direct contact), plastic-free solutions are more limited. In these cases, moisture- and oil-resistance may require minimal lamination or liners.
However, we are actively exploring greener alternatives like biodegradable films, soy inks, and greaseproof inner liners for solid products like lip balm or deodorant.
What’s FSC-certified paper?
FSC-certified paper comes from forests that are managed in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable manner. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) ensures that the paper used is sourced from well-managed forests that promote biodiversity and respect local communities. This certification helps protect forests from illegal logging and ensures that the paper production process follows strict sustainability guidelines.
Are your paper tubes food-safe for direct contact?
Our tubes utilize food-grade adhesives and contact-safe inks, designed for non-direct food packaging of dry goods (e.g. pet kibble, table salt, coffee beans). Industry best practices recommend combining sealed inner pouches with our tubes as exterior packaging to optimize product presentation.
Do enhancements like foil stamping and spot UV affect recyclability?
Spot UV is a clear gloss varnish that’s applied to a specific area of the artwork to make it stand out. It is considered environmentally friendly because it uses UV light to cure, which doesn’t emit harsh chemicals, solvents, or other synthetic compounds.
Foil stamping is also considered to be environmentally friendly. The process uses a minimum amount of energy, is dry and solvent-free. Most foil is recyclable.
