Easy Ways to Reuse our Packaging
Packaging materials are one of the main components of ocean pollution. As global consumerism rises, so does the amount of pollution in our oceans. To do our part in ensuring we are not contributing to the pollution problem we carefully select our packaging materials ensuring we choose products that are both recycled and recyclable. We use water-based inks, eco-friendly supplies, and limit our packaging materials so we don’t have a negative impact on our environment. We also encourage everyone to reuse and recycle packaging supplies, ours and others, so it gets the most out of its life.
All of our packaging is made in the USA
Here are some examples of how you can reuse our packaging:
