Single-use plastic packaging is wreaking havoc on our environment. Consider the following:

• The equivalent of one garbage truck load of plastic is dumped into the ocean each minute, and this figure is projected to double by 2030 and quadruple by 2050. 
• Plastic and packaging waste comprise 30 percent of total U.S. waste annually. 
• Only 14 percent of plastic is put in the recycling bin and a meager 5 percent is repurposed for subsequent use.

In short: most plastic ends up in landfills and the ocean, where it causes enormous environmental harm.  

As a lifelong surfer, skier, and outdoor enthusiast, I care deeply about protecting our natural world. 

The pouches are made from cellulose (wood pulp). They are PLA- and GMO-free and don’t contain harmful chemicals, including BPA, PFAS, or phthalates. And they’re printed with non-toxic, compostable ink. 

They’re so clean and biodegradable that you can put them in your backyard or curbside compost bin! 

Here are a few other benefits of the pouches:

• They’re easy to travel with (because they’re lightweight and compressible). 
• They take up less space on your kitchen counter.
• They have a 2-year shelf-life—just like our products.

These pouches will also dramatically decrease the energy required to ship the products because they’re lighter and more compact than either plastic or glass bottles.
