That\u2019s why everything we create is made from natural materials, powered by renewable energy. To protect wildlife and ecosystems, the organic cotton in our products is grown without harmful chemicals. Even our packaging is thoughtfully crafted from plants, not plastic. Your order will arrive in a playful, eco-friendly paper mailer that\u2019s perfect for colouring in or reusing as gift wrap.<\/p><p>When it came time to decide how we would package and ship our products, we had choices. The average plastic bag is used for just 12 minutes but can linger in the environment for over 500 years. Paper, however, breaks down in just 2-6 weeks, leaving no toxic residue behind. After all, it\u2019s made from trees\u2014entirely natural and biodegradable. That\u2019s why we chose our playful, paper-based mailers. Not only are they a fun canvas for you to colour or repurpose, but they can also be recycled once you\u2019re done.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/zyttgo2hryhgd9urwhly7l68pshivsxb3l9qr7tny9fbllib.png.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"zyttgo2hryhgd9urwhly7l68pshivsxb3l9qr7tny9fbllib.png.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" \/>Our packaging is more than just a vessel to get your order from our door to yours\u2014it\u2019s an experience.
