A plastic bag is used for an average of 12 minutes before it's discarded. It can then take 500-years-plus to decompose. On the other hand, paper only takes 2-6 weeks to decompose and the right kind doesn't leave anything dangerous behind in nature, because it is natural. It's made from trees, after all. That's why our orders are sent out in these fun paper mailers. Colour them in or reuse at home to make the most of the fun pattern and recycle when you're done.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/pmu7xdir6dbknfctdfykazknbws7eki7z2x3pnmsjh3lhqlm.jpg\" alt=\"pmu7xdir6dbknfctdfykazknbws7eki7z2x3pnmsjh3lhqlm.jpg\" \/><\/p><h2><strong>Simple, natural, sustainable<\/strong><\/h2><p>It matters to us that our products do not harm the environment. That's why they are made using natural materials and renewable energy. To help wildlife thrive, the natural cotton in your products is produced organically, without any nasties. Our packaging is also made from plants, not plastic. Your order arrives in this fun paper mailer that's great for colouring in and can be reused to wrap gifts.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/nqfapsgl4sddfzpup7ez9sgthq9adeclu71m22psjugowoiy.jpg\" alt=\"nqfapsgl4sddfzpup7ez9sgthq9adeclu71m22psjugowoiy.jpg\" \/><\/p><h2><strong>Rip-proof, splash-proof, waste-proof<\/strong><\/h2><p>Instead of plastic packaging, we only use rip and splash-proof mailer bags made out of paper. Big orders come in cardboard boxes, with paper-based tape. That means no nasties going back into the environment once you're done with it, because natural materials arent harmful to nature. They are nature. Even though you can, we suggest you don't put it straight in the recycling - use it as wrapping paper, colour it in or try out some origami.
