Switching from plastic screw-up tubes to paper push-up tubes for lip balms, deodorants, and mosquito repellents is a simple change that make a big environmental difference.
Less Plastic Waste
Plastic tubes are hard to recycle and can sit in landfills for hundreds of years, breaking down into tiny, harmful particles. Paper tubes, on the other hand, break down naturally and don’t leave behind toxic residues.
Less Energy to Make
Producing plastic requires a lot of energy and fossil fuels. Paper, generally takes less energy to produce, especially when sourced from well-managed forests.
A Smarter Choice for Shoppers
More people are looking for products with better packaging. Choosing paper over plastic is an easy way to cut down on waste and support more eco-friendly alternatives.
Easier to Recycle or Compost
Unlike plastic, which often ends up in landfills, paper tubes can be recycled or composted. This means they won’t end up piling up as trash.
In short, switching to paper push-up tubes is a simple way to reduce waste and avoid long-lasting plastic pollution. Contact me on corliemortimer[at]icloud.com for quotes on custom printed packaging, or browse the shop for products that are currently in stock.
