Altus Advantage has always offered eco-friendly containers, especially in our Zero Waste collection. Now we’re adding even more options for our customers to feel confident that the products they choose will not leave a negative impact on our environment. These will be available in our bath and body collections.
Glass Jars
We choose to package some of our products in glass jars. This option is non-toxic, contains no potentially harmful chemicals, and is generally not associated with adverse health effects.
Since it is less porous than plastic, it is highly resistant and won’t leach into your product; even when it is contained for long periods of time.
Glass is 100% recyclable which means it won’t break down and no loss of quality for either your product or the container will occur over time.
We use these eco-friendly containers for our laundry butter and solid dish soap.
Once you’ve used all of your product and the jar is empty, re-use the jars for canning or other purposes.
In our Eco-Friendly Dish Soap article, we discuss just how easy it can be to reduce your household’s plastic use.
Compostable Plastic Bags
Our potty bombs, laundry capsules, and body scrub bars come in clear compostable plastic bags.
If you’re making your own compost at home, these bags may not break down as they require high temperatures. Generally, we recommend you send it to your town or city’s compost because their facilities are optimal to break down this type of cellulose-based plastic bag.
Made from plants, these new bags appear the same as a traditional Poly bag but they are sustainable and Earth-friendly.
Due to the compostable nature of the bags, Altus Advantage can only put dry products into them otherwise the bags will start breaking down.
This is the reason why we continue to find new eco-friendly containers. Depending on the product, we need to choose the most appropriate option for the product we are packaging.
