Eco-Packaging alliance
In Silvanus, we are committed to not only help you reconnect with nature but also help nature stay clean. That is why we are part of the Eco-Packaging alliance. Our packaging products are eco-friendly so that our customers can have an unboxing experience that isn’t tarnished by excessive amounts of non-recyclable plastic.
The Eco-Packaging Alliance is a great way to contribute to global reforestation, and support the planet! The best part is that we have the opportunity to plant trees for in areas of need every time we get new packing products from our company partners.
All our packaging products are made of recycled and compostable materials
Recycled Product Range
What it means:
Recycled packaging is made from previously used plastic products, including single use bags, bottles and other common plastic items. The plastic is processed at a recycling facility and put back into circulation, thus doubling its lifespan.
Why it is awesome:
Recycling reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators - it conserves natural resources and prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw materials. Basically instead of making something new - we’re taking something already in circulation to give it a second life!
Ensuring success:
While operating and maintaining recycling plants can often be a bit more costly, you can support by choosing products made from recycled materials. When you're done with these products, make sure you recycle them in their appropriate categories e.g. plastics, aluminum, glass, paper etc. so it goes to the right plant and doesn't end up in the landfill.
Compostable Product Range
What it means:
Compostable packaging is typically made from a number of renewable plant-based materials and/or bio-polymers. To be certified home compostable, a product must break down in home compost within 180 days and 90 days in commercial composting conditions.
Why it is awesome:
Cardboard and paper products are a great addition to the backyard compost as it helps with the carbon-nitrogen ratio. Easily broken down in a compost, these products also tend to have chemical compounds removed from the product.
Ensuring success:
Sometimes people don’t notice that something is compostable, meaning it can sometimes end up in the landfill. If you don’t have a home compost, you can look at local options for communal compost sites, or somewhere you can drop off items for commercial composting.
