changes today for a better tomorrow
We've been reviewing our packaging and we're excited to share our updates and new designs.
The goal is for our packaging to be made more recycled materials or have the ability to be recycled.
MAILING BAGS
Our orders are shipped in our signature Bo+Tee bags, now made from atleast 95% recycled materials.
You can usually recycle the bags at your local supermarket. Some local recycling facilities will accept these in your home bins, however we'd suggest checking first!
Check whether your local authority recycles soft plastics. Not every region will let you recycle them at home. Here are some quick access links:
We'd recommend collecting all your soft plastics and visit your local recycling facility or supermarket to properly recycle them.
GARMENT BAGS
As we ship worldwide, we want to protect our products. Our garments bags are made from Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified, 100% recycled plastic.*
*Please note this percentage specifically refers to the material of the bag and doesn't include add-ons such as the ink, glue and release tape.
