All Love Tea box packaging is made from post-consumer recycled cardboard, to reduce the amount of plantation timber utilised to make the stock. This also helps recycle the already abundant amount of cardboard produced in the world today. We print on these boxes using vegetable based inks, to reduce the amount of harmful solvents used, which can often have unintended negative effects on the environment.
These boxes (and the clear cello pouch inside) will easily break down in your home compost in a few months.
Our pyramid tea bags are made from a biodegradable plant based material called Soilon which is not plastic. We have personally tested these tea bags in our own home compost, and witnessed them breakdown. It’s important to note, they will definitely take longer than other compost items to decompose. These Soilon bags have met all compostability standards in Japan, Europe and North America. However, the manufacturers recommend commercial composting as a quicker alternative to address this longer time of breakdown.
The clear pouch that holds all tea products (loose leaf and tea bags) is made from a plant based cellophane material called NatureFlex. This is not a fossil fuel based polypropylene (as is often used with food packaging.) This too can be placed in your home compost and will successfully breakdown in a few months.
We choose to use a kraft paper packing tape over poly tape not only in production but also when sending out orders to our customers. This tape appears to biodegrade much quicker than poly tape and has less reliance on fossil fuel as its source.
Our shipping boxes are made from post consumer recycled stock with limited to no input of virgin paper material required. This obviously helps reduce the amount of plantation timber utilised to make the stock and also helps recycle the already abundant amount of cardboard produced in the world today.
When we need new furniture, computers for the office, or even machinery for the factory, we always look to purchase pre owned and second hand products before new. This isn’t always practical, but to date, we have purchased more pre-owned furniture, computers and machinery than we have brand new.
