By default, all orders are sent in 100% recycled paper packaging. However, you have the option to opt-in for plastic packaging instead.While paper packaging is compostable and recyclable as part of standard paper curbside pickup, it takes more energy and natural resources to make while also having a higher carbon footprint compared to plastic packaging.While plastic packaging is more durable, lighter and has a smaller carbon footprint during use, it is made from fossil fuels and is more difficult to manage as waste compared to paper packaging.We give you the choice, as plastic packaging is a more sustainable choice overall, if it is disposed of properly.
