We want everything about our business to be sustainable because when it comes to sustainability, small things can have a big impact. Like the packaging your order arrives in and what happens when you don\u2019t need it anymore.<\/p>
Plastic packaging can take 500-years-plus to decompose. On the other hand, paper only takes 2-6 weeks to decompose and the right kind doesn\u2019t leave anything dangerous behind in nature, because it\u2019s natural. It\u2019s made from trees, after all.<\/p>
Which is why instead of plastic packaging, we only use rip and splash-proof mailer bags made out of paper. Big orders come in cardboard boxes, with paper-based tape. Since its made from plants, not plastic, it\u2019s designed with nature in mind. Just like everything else we do.<\/p>
Even though you can, we suggest you don\u2019t put it straight in the recycling - use it as wrapping paper, colour it in or try out some origami.<\/p>","urlTitle":"how-our-packaging-is-sustainable","url":"\/blog\/how-our-packaging-is-sustainable\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/how-our-packaging-is-sustainable\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/popcult-clothing.com\/blog\/how-our-packaging-is-sustainable\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1723475055,"updatedAt":1726748929,"publishedAt":1726748929,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":351155,"name":"Pop Cult"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/a6rgcqujqj9tyt8xaxg3a1pqpnk9kheb1ichlkbhuynwvfuk.png","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/a6rgcqujqj9tyt8xaxg3a1pqpnk9kheb1ichlkbhuynwvfuk.png.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/a6rgcqujqj9tyt8xaxg3a1pqpnk9kheb1ichlkbhuynwvfuk.png.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":41740,"title":"Why We Use Robots For Sustainability","url":"\/blog\/why-we-use-robots-for-sustainability\/","urlTitle":"why-we-use-robots-for-sustainability","division":351155,"description":"Because we're committed to sustainability, we chose a supplier who aligned with our values.

As nearly two thirds of all clothing is now made from synthetic material like polyester, it means that much of it ends up in landfill or incineration as it cannot be easily recycled into new products. Which is why our products are made from natural materials like organic cotton, using only renewable energy, and printed to order - giving what people need, when they need it and ensuring no waste is made in the process","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/j46rzqdajqonhcvg16c11vmsldw0oucttv0ybakyki0r9f96.png.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/j46rzqdajqonhcvg16c11vmsldw0oucttv0ybakyki0r9f96.png.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":41773,"title":"Why We Are Stopping Fast Fashion","url":"\/blog\/stopping-fast-fashion\/","urlTitle":"stopping-fast-fashion","division":351155,"description":"The average person buys 60% more items of clothing every year and keeps them for about half as long as 15 years ago according to Greenpeace.
