Eoc-Friendly Packaging For A Greener Tomorrow

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, from our timeless design choices, the way we operate in the studio and right down to the smallest detail in our packaging choices. From recyclable kraft boxes, biodegradable and water-soluble packing peanuts, every material we use is chosen with care for our environment. Here is the breakdown of how you can easily recycle or reuse the packaging materials we use:

Kraft Cardboard Boxes

Disposal: Our kraft cardboard boxes are fully recyclable. Simply remove any DYMO shipping labels before placing the box in your recycling bin to ensure proper processing. Recycling these boxes helps reduce waste and supports the circular economy, keeping materials in use for longer.
Reuse: Instead of discarding your box, consider repurposing it for shipping, storage, or even DIY projects. Whether you’re using it for returning online purchases, organising household items, or getting creative with upcycling, these sturdy boxes can serve multiple purposes before being recycled.

PACKING PEANUTS

Disposal: Our biodegradable packing peanuts are designed to break down naturally without harming the environment. You can compost them at home or dissolve them in water for effortless disposal. Unlike traditional foam peanuts, these won’t contribute to landfill waste.
Reuse: Save these lightweight fillers for your own shipments, cushioning fragile items when mailing gifts or reselling items online. If you don’t need them, consider donating to local businesses, schools, or art programs that may have use for them.

THANK YOU CARDS

Disposal: Our thank you cards are made from uncoated, recyclable materials. Simply place them in your paper recycling bin to ensure they are repurposed into new paper products.
Reuse: Instead of tossing them out, keep your thank you card as a small token from The Oddative. Pin it to your inspiration board, use it as a bookmark, or repurpose it into a gift tag—giving it a second life beyond its original purpose.

EVERYTHING ELSE

Disposal: All other packaging materials, including our kraft paper and water-activated tape, are fully recyclable. Simply remove them from your boxes and place them in your recycling bin. Ensuring the materials are free from contaminants will help them be processed efficiently.

By choosing materials that are easy to recycle and reuse, The Oddative ensures that sustainability isn’t just an afterthought—it’s a part of every package you receive. Plus, with every order placed, we plant a tree to further our commitment to environmental restoration. Thoughtful packaging, mindful impact.
