First off, we have pretty much done away with our old paper labels that we once banded the soaps with. We have transitioned to a much smarter looking glassine (wax paper) bag that is individually labeled for each soap. These are good for multiple reasons and have been very well received.
Also, in December of this year we began packing all of our orders with shredded cardboard instead of packing peanuts. I may have missed one, but I don’t think so.
For those who don’t know, I have been huge into composting the last few years, turning just about every shred of paper or cardboard I can into dirt — even requesting material from others. The amount of trash and recycle I create in a month is incredibly low, especially since I try to buy whole foods in bulk, make most of what I eat from scratch, have access each year to two bountiful gardens, drink a lot of plain water (from a well), and try to reuse glass jars as much as I can. Okay, so I’m into all this.
What was exciting though was to hear one of our customers say that they LOVED the new packing material. She said that it was going straight to her flower garden. Yes!
The simple things that excite…. love it.
