Plastic-Free, Recyclable & Truly Sustainable Packaging

At Earth Conscious, packaging is about doing the right thing, not the easy thing

Every choice we make from the materials we use to how your order arrives is designed to minimise environmental impact and support a genuinely sustainable lifestyle.

We began with a simple mission: create plastic-free natural deodorants and ship them in packaging that reflects our commitment to the planet. That means no plastics, no microplastics, and no unnecessary waste in every part of your delivery.

100% Plastic-Free Packaging

We completely avoid plastic, including bioplastics, because many bioplastics simply aren’t recyclable in UK recycling facilities and can require industrial conditions to break down.

Instead, we choose materials that are:
✔ Truly recyclable
✔ Natural and plant-based where possible
✔ Designed to return safely to the Earth

This approach helps avoid landfill waste and supports real, practical sustainability not just buzzwords.

What’s Inside Your Parcel

Recyclable Shipping Materials

• Recycled cardboard boxes -  lightweight, sturdy and easily recyclable
  
• Paper tape - plastic-free and recyclable
  
• Minimal padding - only what’s needed to protect your products and this is always 100% plastic-free 

We keep it simple to reduce resources and reduce waste at every step.

Compostable Packing Peanuts

We use biodegradable, plant-based packing peanuts made from natural starch not polystyrene. These are:

✔ 100% plastic-free
✔ Biodegradable and compostable
✔ Water-soluble, simply dissolve in water
✔ Safe to compost at home

This means you can compost them, add them to food waste, or dissolve them in water without harming the environment.

Packaging That Matches Our Product Values

We carefully choose packaging that complements the sustainability of our deodorants themselves which are:

• Plastic-free
  
  
• Recyclable at kerbside (like aluminium tins)
  
  
• Minimal and purposeful
  
  
• Designed to avoid unnecessary waste and microplastics.
  
  

Materials We Use

• Aluminium tins infinitely recyclable and widely accepted in kerbside recycling
  

• Cardboard push-up tubes recyclable and will naturally decompose
  

• Bare Bar packaging minimal, regulatory compliant, and compostable
  (all with zero plastics or hidden liners)
  
  

Materials We Don't Use

• Plastic
  

• Bioplastics that can’t be recycled or composted locally
  

• Excessive or decorative packaging that adds waste

Why This Matters

Plastic can take hundreds of years to break down and often fragments into microplastics that pollute ecosystems. Rechargeable or refillable systems can actually create more long-term waste if not genuinely recyclable which is why we focus on reducing first, not just recycling.

By choosing Earth Conscious, you’re supporting:

• Reduced plastic waste
  

• Truly recyclable and compostable materials
  

• Lower environmental impact from production through delivery

• A circular, low-waste lifecycle
