THE RESPONSIBILITY IS OURS

As a business, we feel it is important to consider the impact of the products we create for you. This manifests through our choice of Natural ingredients and our one-time plastic free packaging. We believe that the responsibility towards sustainable solutions lies in both, the hands of the business as well as the buyer. And as a sustainable business, we would like to help you, our customers, work towards a more planet friendly lifestyle by helping you with ideas to Reuse our product packaging.

One step that can reduce our collective impact on the planet is to Up-cycle and Reuse more often. In a bid to do that, we have created this page as a resource for how to Up-cycle our packaging after you have finished using our product. So here is a short list of how to Reuse the packaging of our existing products.

Our Natural Deodorants are one of our most popular products. We took the time and effort to develop an alternative to plastic packaging in the form of a compostable Paperboard tube. One you are done with your deodorant stick, remove the inner plastic lining on the tube (it's really unavoidable) and use the tube as a seed starter for your garden or potted plants. For larger plant saplings, the paperboard will soften and the the roots of the plant should break through in a short time. For smaller saplings, the tube makes the sprouts easy to separate and move them at the right time to a bigger pot or garden.

HOW TO REUSE OUR DEODORANT TUBES:

1. Remove the inner plastic lining and dispose of it separately.

2. Ensure that the circular bottom stopper of the tube is in place.

3. Place about 1-2 fistfuls of soil from your garden/pot into the tube a little at a time.

4. Once the tube is almost full (1 cm from the top), place your seeds in the tube and cover it with an additional 0.5cm of soil.

5. Add a touch of moisture / water to the soil on the top of the tube.

6. After the seeds have grown enough, you can transfer the saplings or the tube as necessary.

GRANTED THAT YOU WILL ONLY USE ABOUT 3-4 STICKS OF DEODORANT A YEAR, YOU CAN KEEP THEM ASIDE FOR THE IMPORTANT SEEDS!
