Eco friendly packaging FAQs ▾
Eco friendly packaging FAQs
What is the difference between compostable and biodegradable packaging?
Compostable packaging is designed to break down into compost in composting conditions. Biodegradable packaging breaks down over time, but the timeframe depends on the material and conditions.
What is an eco friendly way to ship clothing?
A compostable satchel or a kraft paper courier bag. Both replace a standard plastic satchel for soft goods.
What can I use instead of bubble wrap?
Honeycomb paper wrap is a plastic-free alternative that stretches into a cushioning layer. EcoPure biodegradable bubble wrap is another option.
Are BioFill packing peanuts biodegradable?
Yes. BioFill is made from corn starch rather than plastic, is water soluble and is made in Australia.
Is cardboard packaging eco friendly?
Corrugated cardboard is recyclable, and many of our boxes contain recycled fibre.
Do you have eco friendly packing tape?
Yes. Kraft paper tape, degradable kraft tape and water-activated gummed paper tape all replace plastic tape.
