How to Compost and Recycle ALL of Our Packaging
Margaret PhamSustainability doesn’t start at the bin, it starts at the design stage. That’s why every piece of our packaging has been created with its end-of-life in mind. From day one, we committed to sending your handmade soap bars in packaging that’s 100% plastic-free and simple to dispose of responsibly.
We know that recycling and waste services vary depending on where you live in Australia. So, we’ve kept things as accessible as possible:
✨ALL of our packaging can go straight into your home compost or kerbside recycling bin.
✨ No need for special drop-off programs. Nothing to landfill. No greenwashing.
