Package - You Can Put It In the Ground



Sustainable Packaging is hitting the market and in a big way. No longer is this for hippies and health food stores, the designs are smart, reusable and in some cases you can even put in in the ground.



"Pangea Organics, a young, “ecocentric” skincare/bodycare company, is the first manufacturer we’ve seen to actually deliver its products in plantable (how cool is that?) packaging. All of Pangea’s product boxes are made “using a Zero Waste process with 100% post-consumer paper and organic seeds like sweet basil and amaranth.” Customers simply have to remove the box’s label, soak the box in water for a few minutes, and then plant it directly outdoors or in a pot of soil. "

Talk about an Easy button - many companies are following in the footsteps of Pangea, but it is important that designers, choose product that are not only fun to use for consumers but are zero impact on the planet as well.
