📦 Plastic-Free Shipping: What It Means and Why It Matters


Have you ever ordered an “eco-friendly” product, only to receive it wrapped in layers of plastic?

At Kind Earth Supply, we believe sustainability should extend beyond the product — to the way it’s delivered. That’s why every order ships using plastic-free, recyclable, and compostable materials. Because protecting the Earth doesn’t stop at checkout.

In this post, we’ll break down:

  • What plastic-free shipping actually means
  • Why it matters for the environment
  • How we ship orders sustainably — and how you can too

🚫 What Is Plastic-Free Shipping?

Plastic-free shipping means that no petroleum-based plastic is used in your package. That includes:

  • No plastic bubble wrap
  • No plastic tape
  • No poly mailers
  • No shrink wrap

Instead, we use biodegradable and recyclable alternatives like:

  • Kraft paper mailers
  • Compostable shipping tape
  • Recycled cardboard boxes
  • Paper-based padding instead of bubble wrap

This keeps packaging minimal, zero-waste, and planet-safe — all the way to your doorstep.

🌍 Why It Matters

Most people don’t realize that packaging accounts for nearly 30% of total U.S. waste. And most plastic packaging isn’t recyclable — even if it has the little triangle symbol.

Here’s the problem:

  • Plastic never truly goes away — it breaks down into microplastics
  • It pollutes oceans, harms wildlife, and contaminates food chains
  • The carbon cost of creating, transporting, and disposing of plastic is massive

By avoiding plastic packaging, we reduce:

  • Carbon emissions
  • Landfill volume
  • Toxic waste exposure to humans and animals

Every order shipped without plastic is one less box of regret.

📦 How We Ship at Kind Earth Supply

Every order from Kind Earth Supply is packed with planet-first materials:

  • 100% recycled or FSC-certified kraft mailers and boxes
  • Recycled paper filler and honeycomb wrap for fragile items
  • Compostable or recyclable tape and stickers
  • Zero plastic, guaranteed

We also print shipping labels on eco-friendly paper and keep packaging minimal by design — no unnecessary fluff, just functional, clean, and conscious.

🪴 Bonus: We plant a tree for every order through our partner app — so your package gives back, twice.

💡 What You Can Do As a Customer

Want to take it further? Here are a few simple ways to be a packaging-conscious shopper:

  • Reuse our mailers and boxes when gifting, storing, or shipping
  • Compost any tissue paper or cardboard padding
  • Recycle properly (flatten boxes, remove tape)
  • Choose stores that use verified plastic-free shipping (like us 🌱)

Together, we can make eco shipping the norm — not the exception.

🌱 Final Thoughts

  • A cleaner planet
