Environmental Efforts

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 – 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.
Corrugated Wrap – Recyclable void fill made of 100% recycled content.

All our shipping supplies are from ULINE. Click here for more information on their environmentally friendly

We ship each order via UPS or the USPS, both of which have made efforts to "green" their delivery methods.
