It's no secret that damage to the environment has been getting worse. Many products still using one-use plastics that will still be lingering around for thousands of years if left alone.
Thankfully, people have been turning to sustainable materials in efforts to help drive major changes in consumer products. Not only is this good for the consumer but also offers significant opportunities to manufacturers in revising their material inventory.
The industry as a whole is moving on the issue and trend-setting companies and retailers are making proactive efforts to commit to sustainable materials. KIIJO are going extra lengths to do our part for the planet.
The main criteria of sustainable materials is to ultimately reduce its impact on the environment. This can be seen from every step of the production cycle, stemming from the very ingredients through to when it gets broken down and reused back in to the consumer system again. Sustainable materials should be completely recycled or raw. Even though the product may be eco-friendly, the production process itself should also create a small carbon footprint.
It's important that a product can become part of a system where its life cycle can either be reused or enriching to the environment.
Sustainable packaging is being pushed more by the newer generations and as a result, more eco friendly solutions are being engineered at a much faster rate. The popularity for greener materials has become a trend statement and as a result, more of the big brands are switching to eco-materials and packaging.
As technology is developing at such speed, more eco friendly options are becoming available to retailers and in turn, making it easier to reduce their carbon footprint.
The presence of social media has helped enormously in battling down non-eco brands by publicly shaming the biggest culprits. There is such a vast array of sustainable options available to both retailers and consumer that there are fewer excuses to use materials that are damaging to the environment.
Sourcing eco-friendly packaging is more expensive than buying in products that are harmful to the environment. KIIJO is a startup venture founded by two poor souls, yet, are happy to disburse on the extra costs to help the ecosystem. We are almost there with totally reducing our carbon footprint but continue to work with our suppliers and manufacturers to create a full system that contains little to no harmful materials to the environment.
Regularly buying one-use drinks in plastic bottles promotes the manufacturing of these products in to circulation.
Using our stylish water bottles will not only make you look good but they'll also keep your drinks cold or hot for hours.
Our boxes are made from recycled materials and instead of using plastic tapes, we use paper tape to seal them.
Even the protective materials we use within the boxes are eco-friendly. Because of their sustainability and strength, they are a superior alternative to plastic bubble wrap.
We use compostable packaging instead of plastics. Has the same qualities as plastic so there is no compromise on strength or durability.
Although they may look the same, these materials are made from plants and will break down back to natural elements.
