Our packaging is made of molded paper pulp and a bio plastic made primarily of corn. We use these materials because they are interesting to look at, and they are compostable—which means one day, they might become part of a large tree. Maybe you can cut down that tree and make it into a speedboat.

Visit this space daily to experience the ongoing struggle of “help I have a headache” as it attempts to biodegrade.
