      About our Packaging

      We all know plastic packaging, especially single use packaging, is one of the biggest threats faced by the environment today. And although it is not yet practical to move completely away from plastics, here is how we strive to #bebetter with our packaging everyday,

      We've all heard of REDUCE, REUSE, RECYLE, so here is how we at Better Earth try to tackle these three with our packaging:

      • Reduce: Although we offer all our products in smaller package sizes that make sense for each specific type of product, we also sell all our products in bulk (5L and often 25L). Buying in bulk helps to reduce the total plastic in circulation as each use lasts significantly longer. And on top of this we offer pretty big discounts on these sizes to help make that bigger purchase a little more affordable for you. 
      • Reuse: This is where our 100% recycled bottles come in. Every single bottle has been recycled at least once already. We recently moved from grey bottles to white - and we did it without adding pigments! To find out more, read on our blog: The Evolution of our Grey Bottles.
      • Recycle: We pride ourselves on making sure everything we use is recyclable. And we mean everything - Our bottles, caps, labels (very few labels on commercial products are actually recyclable), boxes, and even the tape we use to seal our boxes.

       

      Quick Word on the Vacuum Seals:

      You might have noticed we recently introduced a small vacuum seal. This is essential to ensure they travel safe, with zero spills (our couriers, as we all know, can sometimes be a little handsy with shipments!).

      Now, in the spirit of absolute transparency, we need to be honest: this seal is currently the only thing in our packaging that is not recyclable. We know this isn't ideal, and we have yet to find a South African supplier that manufactures a food-safe, non-toxic, and truly recyclable alternative. Rest assured, we are doing our absolute best to keep on the lookout for a local solution because our commitment to the Better Principle is everything.
