REDUCE: Cut down on the amount of packaging that is used or ideally, eliminate the remnants of the packaging altogether through home-compostable options. Here are 3 examples of products that, if composted properly, will breakdown the materials back into soil!
Be kind to the environment and market your brand, one re-use at a time!
REUSE: Use reusable washable products (such as cotton) that may be re-used again and again. Cotton is a great option because it is grown without pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers and can be made in many weights that allow for the utmost durability.
