Compostable mailers: We ship plastic-free.

You’re order will arrive packaged in a mailer, which is super bendy and will easily fit into your bag. You’ve probably only encountered the standard plastic version.
Our packaging is made from a mix of corn starch and the bio-plastics PLA and PBAT. This might sound complicated, but just imagine: in 180 days 90% of our packaging will have rotted on the compost heap. Yes, our mailers are not only biodegradable but also compostable.

It depends. Many bio-plastic products only degrade under certain environmental conditions. But our bio-plastic really is compostable! Compared to so called oxo degradable materials (like polyethylene) our bio-plastic mailers won’t break up into micro-plastic particles, but will degrade as biomass, CO2 and water. This doesn’t require any special conditions but will happen right at home on your compost heap. At least 90% of the mailer will have rotted after 180 days – as guaranteed by the TÜV Austria certification and AS 5810-2010.
Bio-plastic also has some advantages in comparison with cardboard. Not only does it produce 62% less CO2, but needs 99% less water and 95% less energy to make. Pollutants like sulfur oxide or nitrogen oxide are not required either.

To top it off, our compostable packaging is CO2 negative. Meaning, that 200% of our mailers’ ecological footprint are compensated for. This happens in collaboration with mossy.earth.
Should you need to return your order, our mailers come equipped with an additional stick strip so you don’t need to use any tape. Bye bye plastic.
