Cardboard superpowers and kryptonite

Cardboard Jar Innovation

Cardboard elegantly answers heaps of packaging considerations. It protects product from heat and cold and light. It is very hardwearing, constructed quite strong and handles some moisture. But it can't go swimming, the cardboard will soak up the water!

We've taken our jars backpacking, let it roll around in a sailing bag and kept it in the our car, even upside down. It won't make a mess but you may want to secure the jar in a bag to make sure the lids stays on.

You can also transfer your product to your favourite working cosmetic container, whether it beautiful amber glass on your nightstand, or polypropylene plastic that will put up with your robust life.

The Details

How's this Cardboard Jar Made?

We trialed a single size for a year before launching the Minis. We also vetted every component part that goes into the making of the cardboard jar.

Here's some component details

•Certified FSC cardboard
•Soy inks tested for heavy metals
•Super thin inner and outer coating of food grade, plant-based PLA wax paper tested to EU DIN-CERTCO compostability standard

•Note: as we have not undergone an entire packaging compostability test we cannot claim compostability. If you have a garden and compost system, we'd love to hear how you go. As the cardboard will be oily, it is not a good recycling option. Like the greasy pizza box, the paper recovery are not keen on it. For now, this jar is a better rubbish option, as low toxin and easy to break down as possible.

There's no perfect answer, but this one is step closer!

MORE THAN GREAT NATURAL PRODUCTS

Outdoor-ready! Sunshine- Ready!

We're are proud of our epic natural products. But it's really about what you get to do while using those products.

Get ready to discover the best of yourself and each other.

Handy tin for refill

WEMPTY

Our code for these handy refill tins in WEMPTY- which means web only empty. And now that's just what we call them.

Why do we include them? Because life is in motion, and you want your products small and handy. This makes one product turn into two.

One for purse, one for nightstand. One for school bag, one for kitchen.

Refilling made easy.

When the aluminium's done its work, clean it out, take the cap wad out (rubbish) and drop it into your aluminium recycling centre.
