For us at “AnaDore Natural” it's not just about providing you with an environmentally friendly product created with minimal use of vital resources, but also about packaging it with care for nature.
Our products do not have unnecessary outer packaging. At “AnaDore Natural” we do not use cellophane, nylon, and other types of plastic, which are among the heaviest pollutants on the planet.
For us, the outer packaging is something that I am sure you also discard immediately after opening the product, so we prefer to save this enormous waste.
Here are a few facts: According to "Our World in Data," about 350 million tons of plastic waste are generated globally each year. Of this, packaging accounts for about 40% of plastic waste. This means that about 140 million tons of plastic packaging waste are generated annually from plastic packaging alone.
That's why we at “AnaDore Natural” choose to be different and save the planet at least what depends on us!
We will now tell you what packaging we use for the different series:
v We package the Shampuff shampoo series and Lush&Leather solid soap bars in pressed paper containers made for us. See the advantages of these packages here:
· The packaging is ecological because it is made from recycled fibers and fully biodegradable;
· They are recyclable because they can be returned to the circular economy after use;
· They are 100% biodegradable, while plastic remains in nature for centuries;
· With a low carbon footprint, as they require less energy for production compared to plastic;
· They are safe because they do not contain toxic additives, suitable for contact with cosmetics and food and cannot contaminate the product inside with bisphenols or other petroleum products;
· They are light and durable, yet sturdy;
· For us at “AnaDore Natural” it's important that you, as a consumer, seeing this packaging, associate not only the product but our entire brand with sustainability and care for nature.
v We package the “Stick me” and “ Herbal Scope” series in reusable wheat straw:
Wheat straw packaging is produced from the stalks left over after the wheat harvest, which are usually considered agricultural waste. Unlike plastic, which can take hundreds of years to decompose, wheat straw products decompose naturally without harming the environment.
Wheat straw is a natural byproduct of the wheat harvest, meaning it is completely organic and safe. Unlike plastic, it does not contain harmful chemicals like BPA, making it an excellent choice for products that come into direct contact with our cosmetics. These packages are resistant to heat, moisture, and wear, which makes them ideal for everyday use.
They are:
· Eco-friendly – Made from agricultural by-products, reducing waste and the need for virgin materials;
· Biodegradable and compostable – Decomposes naturally, unlike plastic, which can take centuries to break down;
· Renewable resource – Wheat is a fast-growing crop, making straw a sustainable raw material;
· Lightweight yet durable – Provides good cushioning and protection for fragile items. Lightweight and travel-friendly;
· Low carbon footprint – Requires less energy for production compared to plastic or foam packaging;
· Non-toxic – Does not contain harmful chemicals often found in synthetic packaging;
· Supports sustainable agriculture – agricultural waste is used as raw material for sustainable production.
Reusable.
Choosing wheat straw products benefits both your health and the planet!
v The "Dry Lux" dry shampoo series is available in reusable aluminum containers.
When you purchase a product in this packaging, you can, and it is good practice to, purchase the product's contents in a refill package. The advantages of this type of packaging are:
· Durability – aluminum is strong, unbreakable, and can be reused many times over a long period;
· It is 100% recyclable – without loss of quality, with a practically infinite life cycle;
· It is light – convenient to carry and use without adding weight to the product;
· It protects the contents from light, oxygen, external factors, and harmful substances;
· It is easy to clean and reuse;
· It has a smaller environmental footprint – reduces the need for single-use packaging and plastic;
· It provides a premium feel to the customer – aluminum is perceived as an elegant and high-quality material that you will be happy to display when using it in front of people.
v Our refill packages are made of pressed paper for the "ZeoSticks" series and kraft paper for the "Dry Lux" series. They are:
Sustainable – fully biodegradable and recyclable materials that are environmentally friendly;
· Reduce waste – eliminate single-use plastic packaging;
· Have a natural look – kraft and pressed paper provide an authentic and ecological feel;
· They are practical – lightweight and sufficiently strong to protect the refills;
· They provide a good sense of our value to the system – the packaging itself radiates responsibility and care for the environment.
For us at "AnaDore Natural", following the principles of the circular economy is a key value.
For us, waste is not an end, but a new beginning - it becomes a raw material for our wheat straw packaging. Recycled paper and aluminum also find their place, providing us with materials for other product lines. Our priority is to use only as many resources as are truly necessary - nothing more.
From product to packaging - we choose responsibly, and you?
