How to Properly Dispose of Your Compostable Mailer

 

*2023 update: We have transitioned into using 100% recycled material mailers. Guide is still relevant for other compostable mailers you may receive!* 

You've just received your order in our compostable packaging, now what do you do with it?!

Well to start, thank you so much for the support, it means the world to us. Now that you've got your new clothing out of the packaging, here is a little breakdown of your next steps! (pun intended)

1. Is it still in good condition? If it is we would actually ask that you reuse it! Save your money on buying packaging next time you need to send something out and tape this one back up when you need it next! (some of our compostable mailers will also come with second adhesive strip)

2. It's time to compost it? No problem! The first step would be to remove any plastic tape or shipping labels that may be on the packaging.

3. Compost it! You can either cut it up in small pieces to help with the process, or put it directly in your compost pile at home! Easy as that!

4. No compost heap? Why not check out Eartheasy and Gardening Know How who have some great guides on how to start one! It's easier than you might think :) Other options would be to search for a community compost facility or composting pickup service in your area. 

Thank you for your participation in our drive for sustainability!
