We have all seen the recycling sign on many packages, and assume that this means that they are easily recyclable, and that they will be recycled. ♻️

This is the least we can do, and as a committed business, we do not see any good reason to omit this information.
In our opinion, transparency is essential to making a true and positive change and one of the foundations of our core principles.
