Green Ship Packaging

One of the reasons we started is to help reduce the use of plastic packaging and offer an alternative eco-friendly shipping option for YOU and your brand. Our mailers are 100 percent home compostable!

It’s amazing that small businesses often move faster towards sustainability than some large corporations. Small business owners- we see YOU making a change and we applaud you! 👏🏼 It’s not easy making the change from life-long plastic mailers to compostable mailers. And we know it’s not easy to trust a start-up to supply your packaging needs. Thank you for making the switch and for doing one little thing to help better the planet. 💕⭐️

At we are all about a sustainable & zero waste lifestyle. Composting is one of the ways that we try to reduce our impact on the world. Instead of sending food scrapes (vegetable peels, fruit scrapes, coffee grinds, & avocado pits) to landfill, we compost in an effort to return anything that comes from nature back to the earth, and letting it biodegrade into soil. The best thing is that our mailers fit the zero waste lifestyle & decompose in your home compost. 👏🏼

Let’s talk facts about our eco-friendly mailers.
1. CERTIFIED home and commercial compostable in accordance with the standards of OK COMPOST HOME (TUV AUSTRIA).
2. NON PLASTIC! Made of PBAT (a co-polymer that is completely compostable) and corn starch. This compostable material represents a significant reduction in CO2 emissions compared to a traditional plastic poly mailer. Non-toxic, zero-waste and BPA free.
3. UNPADDED, SECURE AND EASY TO USE - Our 0.60 mil thick compostable mailers are unpadded and perfect for sending out non-fragile items such as clothing, books and soft accessories. The seal adds an extra layer of security and prevents your shipping satchels from opening during transit.
4. BETTER BRAND IMAGE - Your customers will be delighted to open a shipping mailer made of eco-friendly materials. Our mailers include information on the back for your customers on how to compost the mailer and how your brand cares about the environment. The front of the mailer includes “COMPOSTABLE MAILER” text with plenty of space for your branding and shipping label.

Our compostable mailers were made to ship non-fragile items such as clothing, books and soft accessories and they are GOOD for the earth! Available in black and pink.

Compost is a medley of organic matter, such as vegetable waste, coffee grounds, leaves and mailers. The benefits of composting is that it enriches soil, helping retain moisture and suppress plant diseases and pests. It’s possible for YOU to start a compost at home.

We love to see how uses our mailers to ship her beautiful art work. I’m so happy that she made the switch to eco-friendly packaging for her business! Thank you for being part of our Green Ship Movement community. We are saving the planet one mailer at a time!

Did you know that organic waste in landfills generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas. By composting wasted food and other organics like compostable mailers, methane emissions are significantly reduced. Composting 1 ton of organic waste can reduce emissions as much as taking one car off the road for two months. There are so many good reasons to start composting and to think about we as a community can reduce our carbon footprint. Let us know if you have any questions about composting! We love everything to do with the whole process.
