Our PBAT mailer bags are like the superheroes of the packaging world. PBAT stands for Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate (try saying that five times fast!), a compostable polymer that breaks down without a fuss in your home compost. These bags are tough on protection but gentle on the planet. They carry your goods safely and then gracefully bow out, leaving no trace behind. It's guilt-free shipping at its finest!
Choosing our FSC-certified hex mailers and wrap is like giving the planet a big ol' hug. FSC certification means that the materials come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits. Our hex mailers and wrap are not just about keeping your items snug and safe; they're about making sure our forests are happy and healthy for generations to come. Plus, they add a dash of eco-chic to your shipments!
Absolutely! Our PBAT mailer bags are as compostable as your kitchen scraps. Once they've served their purpose, cut them up and pop them in your home compost, and they'll break down into harmless organic matter. It's a zero-waste solution to shipping that doesn't compromise on quality or durability. Just make sure to remove any non-compostable labels first!
Disposing of our FSC hex mailers and wrap is a piece of (eco-friendly) cake. Since they're made from paper, you can recycle them with your regular paper recycling. If you're feeling extra green, you can also compost them (by shredding them up or layering them as a weed mat under your mulch), and they'll biodegrade over time. Either way, you're making a sustainable choice that Mother Nature approves of.
They sure can! Our PBAT mailer bags are designed to be strong and durable, capable of handling heavy items without tearing or giving up on you. We've done and industry-first and made our larger two sizes twice as thick as any others on the market, giving you piece of mid that those sharp corner and heavier objects will be safe.
They're the eco-warrior equivalent of a sturdy backpack – ready for anything you throw in them, all while being kind to the planet.
Our FSC hex wrap is the eco-friendly alternative to traditional bubble wrap that's been waiting to burst onto the scene.
It offers the same protective cushioning for your items but comes with a green twist. Made from renewable resources and completely recyclable, it's the smarter, kinder choice for both your products and the planet.
The only downside: No fun popping the used wrap.
Our PBAT mailer bags are pretty speedy when it comes to breaking down. In a home compost setup, they'll transform into compost within 3-6 months, depending on conditions like temperature and humidity. It’s like they vanish into thin air (but actually into rich soil)!
Yes, indeed! We're all about keeping things green, so we use eco-friendly inks for printing on our FSC hex mailers and wrap. These inks are safer for the environment, reducing harmful emissions and making the entire product more sustainable from start to finish.
Not at the moment sorry. We have 4 sizes in both the compostable and the hex mailers.
We've designed our mailer bags to be the same size at Australia Posts, you know, just to keep things simples.
Oh yeah, we also offer the biggest padded mailers and thickest (tear resistant) compostable bags on the market ✌🏼
Our rebate program will be like a thank-you note for choosing sustainable packaging. Here’s the gist: each month, we calculate the total packaging costs you incur as a subscribed merchant and credit you back those costs, making your packaging effectively free. The details and eligibility criteria will be outlined and launched through the app when it launches – it's our way of making sustainability accessible and rewarding for everyone.
We're not just talking the talk; we're walking the walk. From sourcing materials from responsibly managed forests to partnering with suppliers who share our eco-ethics, we scrutinise every step of our supply chain. When we can't control the sustainability of certain parts of our mailer bags journey, we will work to offset these unknowns in other ways. We aim for transparency, sustainability, and ethical practices across the board, ensuring that our impact on the planet is as light as a feather.
While we're all for recycling and composting, currently, customers need to manage the disposal of our packaging. However, we're always looking for ways to close the loop on sustainability. Stay tuned for future initiatives where we might facilitate returns for recycling or composting, making the cycle of sustainability even smoother.
