Hey, eco-warriors! It’s time to spill the tea on Purium’s fantastic Terra Pouches – the game-changer in our plastic-free packaging journey. Back in 2019, we pledged to go plastic-free, and now, with Earth Day just around the corner, let’s chat about what makes these pouches so cool and how they’re reducing our carbon FOODprint.
What’s the Deal with Terra Pouches?
Alright, first things first, what even is a Terra Pouch? Well, it’s the superhero of our packaging world. As a Transformation Company, we’re all about evolving with the times to lessen our impact on the planet. Our Terra Pouches have gone through some glow-ups based on your feedback and our team’s genius ideas.
Originally, they were sans zipper seal, making storage a tad tricky. But fear not, our Silicone Pouches swooped in to make storing Terra Pouches fresh and easy. And guess what? We’re always on the improvement grind, so now they even have a compostable zipper seal! Talk about evolution, right?
What’s Inside?
Let’s talk materials. Our Silver Terra Pouches, like those hugging our Power Shake, are like nature’s BFF – primarily wood cellulose and bio-resins, with a hint of aluminum for that moisture barrier. All made in the USA and Canada. Then there’s the brown Kraft Pouches, like the ones holding Biome Medic, with an extra layer of kraft paper on the outside.
Breaking Down the Breakdown
Curious about decomposition? In a home compost, it can take up to 6 months, and in an industrial setting, less than 69 days! Yes, you read that right.
How to Bid Adieu to Terra Pouches
Wondering what to do when you’re done with your Terra Pouch? Easy peasy. Remove the label, bury it in the dirt or compost, and voilà! You can even use them for planting seeds or transplanting veggies in your garden.
Ocean-Friendly Vibes
We’re all about keeping our Terra Pouches away from the ocean. We mark them clearly, urging you to bury them or compost instead of tossing them in the bin. And if, by some wild chance, they end up in the ocean, no worries! They’re better than regular plastic pouches because they’re made from wood cellulose and other earth-friendly sources, not petroleum. They’ll break down and become one with the sea.
