We use some plastic packaging for our products (Chicobab and Spicy Chai Mix).
Most of our packaging materials (teaboxes, cases, plastic jars, etc.) are 100% recyclable, where facilities accept. We highly suggest that you run the Spicy Chai Mix’s jar through the dishwasher or clean it out fully in order to give the jar the best possible chance at being fully recycled.
The vitaliteas tea bags are considered “industrial compostable” like all other teabags. They can be placed in your compost bin, but it may take a long time to break down the teabag, since this is not an industrial process! Eventually, the used tea bags, together with the other food, will either be composted or sent for anaerobic digestion, a natural process in which microorganisms break down organic materials.
We are continuing to explore alternative packaging options that could work for our beverages.
