  • If you can manage to fit the instructions on the packaging itself, that’s the best option IMO. But also have them on the website! It would be impressive to a first-time potential customer looking at your website, to see the instructions, realizing how eco-friendly your packaging is.

  • There are some items I’d love to try- like the toothpaste tabs but I’m unsure of the flavours. How about a wee trial size? I’m willing to pay for it but just need to sample first.

  • The only thing that needs to be recycled is the cardboard box the shipment comes in. The hand lotion comes in a paper bag, as do the detergent and detox for the machine. Lip balm, cardboar and diss washing liquid comes in wax that can be cut up and put in the garden

    Not unhappy about any of that. No istructructions needed

  • Thanks for your efforts!

  • I think this is a great idea! While having the instructions posted online would be the greener option, and there’s no reason not to do that, I have a feeling that fewer people would know they were there and go looking for them. But if you print the instructions on a card made from recycled paper, you support recycling by adding to the market demand for that product and make it easier for new folks to know what to do.

  • What are really like to see is a plastic container for the shampoo and conditioner bars. I took mine to Vietnam in the little metal tin I had ordered and it really got very slimy and rusty and when I returned, I had to throw the tin away I understand that glass is kind of heavy, but there has to be some other solution. I do love your products and have been a customer for a few years now.

  • I only support providing packaging disposal instructions if the instructions do not create any additional materials which need to be recycled! Stitchers and insert cards only create more waste (even if they can be recycled). Printing recycling directions directly on the shipping box itself or the product package itself makes the most sense!

  • I would suggest using option 3 for the instructions as cards can often got lost or accidentally thrown away. If you end up using Option 2 or 3 I would still put the instructions on the website.

A different problem: kitty litter! I try to buy it in containers that can be recycled, such as cardboard boxes. Some have a plastic bag to contain litter inside the box. It is less plastic than those buckets. And you can only keep so many to reuse! If you are thinking of another product to work on, maybe this?
Thanks for letting me vent

My experience has been that if you read all the words on the packaging that there are instructions. I’m thinking a simple TIP SHEET online would be great then you could have a QR code on the package that links to the appropriate section on the Tip Sheet. Saves printed ink

If the idea is to reduce packaging and waste then I feel instructions on the website would be the best solution. Because now you have to create a biodegradable instruction card in an ethical and sustainable way. Including printing and ink etc

I really need information about package duspisal, even though things aren't plastic! I have a large collection of lovely glass jars whose labels I can only remove with difficulty, do I can't offer them for reuse. You should have something on the website immediately, then figure out a better glue, or start printing instructions on packaging.
The trouble with instructions on packaging is that they're written in font size 4 and thus illegible. Maybe a good graphic system would help!

I would love information on how others use the was tubes. I have composted some but I don’t think they break down really well. I’ve cleaned and saved a bunch. I’d like to melt and use them for something.

Thank you for addressing this! I think I was the customer that asked about it - at least I was one of them. In addition to having instructions on the packaging, it would be helpful to also have it on the website. Thanks, as always, for listening!

Hi. Some feedback. I love that you use recyclable items to package your products. Perhaps you could check into less weighty product packaging than glass. I travel often and I'm always looking for eco-friendly, lightweight packaging. Thanks for all you do for the planet!
