Sustainable Practices
We use 100% FSC certified paper packaging made from wood pulp, these bags are renewable, biodegradeable, and can be recycled with paper. They contain no silicon, poly additives or coatings and are PH neutral.
Why Does This Matter?
Plastic packaging accounts for almost 40% of all plastic created and most of it is not recyclable. Bioplastics, while better than regular plastic, do not live up to its hype (we know because we have used them and been disappointed). Paper can be sustainably produced, easily recycled, and in worst case scenarios will biodegrade naturally in about a month.

Recycled Fabrics
As of January of 2023, we are using natural or recycled fabrics in all of our apparel products. We are also working to incorporate sustainable materials into our non-apparel products as well.
Why Does This Matter?
Over 60% of microplastic pollution in our oceans is attributed to apparel and the apparel industry is currently credited for 10% of all global carbon emissions (and rapidly increasing). Recycled fibers create 70% less greenhouse gas emissions and it helps prevent and remove plastic from beaches, oceans, and landfills.
