New Sustainable Packaging is Here! We’re excited to share that our NEW sustainable packaging is on shelves! This past year, we’ve been diligently transitioning our entire wetline away from our original virgin plastic containers to new, more sustainable options, comprised of 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) material!? For those unfamiliar, PCR is recycled plastics from discarded household and commercial items such as bottles, caps, and jugs. PCR is an environmentally-friendly solution that gives single-use materials, that would otherwise fill landfills, a second life. Our product assortment?is currently small, but mighty, making this the perfect time to make this transition within the early stages of our business, in order to lower our carbon footprint and be more sustainable! We were able to procure new 30% PCR packaging that looks very similar to our old virgin plastic containers, maintaining the sleek, transparent design you know and love - but now with a more eco-friendly composition. This is just one additional step we’ve taken to have a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly operation. As a small business, it was no simple task to make this transition, but we are committed to staying educated, and making necessary changes, one step at a time. Here are some environmentally-friendly updates we’ve made so far:? ?? From Plastic to Paper: We've replaced plastic bubble wrap with the more-sustainable paper filler option within all of our shipments. This switch not only reduces plastic waste but also supports recycling initiatives. ?? 30% PCR Packaging: All of our wetline product packaging is now comprised of 30% post-consumer recycled materials, reducing the amount of new plastics being produced and lessening our environmental impact. ?? Ongoing Sustainability Talks Focus: We are committed to continue furthering our sustainability efforts, exploring even higher percentages of PCR materials where possible, while keeping our fingers on the pulse of the industry, and seeing what updates are available to us at every step. We understand the importance of taking these steps and are dedicated to incorporating sustainability measures, not just for our current community but for future generations.
