Conscious Packaging

Worn + Wilder supports r3pack, a New Zealand owned and operated eco-friendly packaging solutions company. r3pack is a proud member of the Sustainable Business Network NZ.

Worn + Wilder uses both the compostable courier bags and the 100% recycled courier bags, along with r3pack's naturally biodegradable & compostable tissue paper (and customised recycled paper stickers printed with eco-friendly inks). 

 

Compostable Courier Bags

r3pack's range of compostable bags are made with corn starch, PLA, PBAT and non-toxic inks to provide you with a natural alternative to traditional plastic based courier bags. The compostable range is certified to comply with the International Standards for home and commercial composting EN13432 / AS4736 / AS5810

The compostable thermal labels are also commercially compostable and BPA free.

r3pack compostable bags can be used again in many different ways. Reusing them is a great way to reduce waste.

• Turn them inside out and they can be used as a courier bag once more
• Weed matting
• Seedling bags
• Food waste bag
• Once it's a bit worse for wear you can then either compost them at home or through a commercial composter.

100% Recycled Courier Bags

r3pack's 100% Recycled Courier Bags do not contain any virgin plastic. This includes the plastic from the removable adhesive backing and the inner (the bag that holds the courier bags) packing bag. The rustic feel and thickness of these amazing courier bags means that they can be reused multiple times before they need to be recycled with soft plastics.
