What Makes Our Packaging Sustainable

A Gift to You and the Planet

When your Isobaa package arrives, it's more than just a delivery — it's our way of showing we care about the planet. Every detail of our packaging, from the materials we use to how we encourage you to reuse them, is designed with the Earth in mind.

We are passionate about doing our part to create a more sustainable future. We believe that even the smallest efforts can contribute to a big change, and that's why we've designed our packaging with sustainability at its core.

The Journey

Our journey towards eco-friendly packaging hasn't been without challenge. In the beginning, our products came in boxes made from reconstituted pulp, similar to egg cartons. These boxes were a great start in reducing our environmental footprint, but they had limitations. Although environmentally friendly, they didn’t always provide the best protection for our products during transit, so they didn't always arrive in the best shape.

Switching to stronger cardboard boxes was a no-brainer, but it wasn't simple. At the time, sustainability wasn't too mainstream, and there were limited options. We eventually found what we were looking for, and today all our packaging is made from recycled materials and is fully recyclable. Our boxes and bags can handle the bumps of shipping while ensuring your items arrive perfectly.

We've developed a variety of box and bag sizes to ensure that no space is wasted. This reduces the need for excess packaging, and minimises the carbon footprint associated with shipping.

Creative Ways to Reuse Our Packaging

Our packaging is made to protect your purchase and inspire creativity and reuse. We want to encourage you to think of new and fun ways to give our boxes a second life. Here are some creative ideas to get you started:

  • Desk Organizer: Use smaller boxes to sort office supplies like pens and sticky notes.
  • Gift Box: Decorate the box with paper or fabric to create a lovely gift box.
  • Wall Art: Flatten the box and use it as a canvas for painting or collage.
  • Seed Starter Pots: Cut the box into small containers for starting seeds in your garden.
  • Kids' Craft Projects: Let the kids use the boxes for creative building projects.

By reusing our packaging, you help reduce waste and contribute to a more sustainable environment. Plus, it's a fun way to engage in creative activities. If you have any other imaginative ideas, please share them below in the comments!
