For the health of people and the planet.
Our truly eco-friendly packaging system has been designed to minimize the use of all materials . The ones we use are of plant origin, which significantly reduces the carbon footprint of their production and transportation .
The jar, along with the label, is biodegradable and compostable (not every biodegradable material is compostable. Read more ).
It is made of a plant-based polymer obtained from starch and the fermentation of sugar cane . The raw material is not only fully natural, but also infinitely renewable.
The label is "woodless" paper , made of 95% sugar cane fibers and 5% hemp and flax .
It contains a UV filter that blocks UV rays , which may negatively affect some active substances.
Its production takes place in ISO6 conditions, the most demanding European standards for the production of direct packaging .
The envelope is also biodegradable and compostable . It is made of polymers of plant origin and corn starch .
As part of our cooperation with the company that produces it, we not only avoid plastic, but also part of our revenue supports the Seabin Project initiative, whose mission is garbage-free oceans . Only today, thanks to us, 228 kg of plastic has been removed from the ocean.
Together we also support Trace initiatives that recover CO2 from the atmosphere .
The jar and envelope are the only packaging. We do not produce unnecessary packaging and do not use additional fillers .
The shipping label attached to the envelope is made of wood-free paper - including glue, biodegradable and compostable.
If the company's mission is to take care of our health, taking care of the planet cannot go hand in hand.
It uses less resources and energy than the production of packaging made of plastic, glass or aluminum. Eliminates the need for recycling.
If all the above facts are common knowledge, why do so many companies in various industries still reject them?
At nikalab, we are convinced that there is a different path than the one chosen by producers of dietary supplements (yes, the "premium" ones too), focused on minimizing the costs of what is inside, while at the same time pumping money into marketing and an excess of beautiful, although non-ecological packaging .
