earthpure's green policy
our products
Our products do not harm the environment or water ways as they contain natural ingredients, which also means they are suitable for use with septic tanks.
packaging
We use biodegradable packaging (for example muslin and paper for our handmade soaps) and recyclable packaging (such as the use of glass jars and aluminium lids for our moisturisers, cleansers and toners).
Our solid shampoo bar , for example is packaged in a muslin drawstring bag. It gets rid of the use of plastic bottles that can leach chemicals into the product*, leak in your toilet bag, fill up landfill sites and are often bulky while travelling or swimming. You can also use our shampoo bar as a body bar which saves space and the use of a plastic soap dish! A must for the conscientious traveller. Retail price £3.90
*For this reason Greenpeace suggest that glass bottles are used instead of plastic. Through the use of a soild shampoo bar, one can also negate the use of glass and the energy it cost to produce it.
All products sent to you through the post or via courier is packaged using recycled packaging that we have collected or sent to us by our suppliers.
our recycling policy
We recycle all paper, cardboard, glass and plastic at our local council recycling site and are a member of 'free cycle carmarthenshire' - Have a look for a free cycling scheme in your area, it's a great way of doing a guilt free spring clean of good stuff that you don't want to throw into a landfill site! Also other people get the thrill of reusing material items that they guenuinly need.
It's worth remembering that a new item always requires energy to manufacture it.
