Biodegradable Supplement Tubs
Our Brand New Biodegradable Supplement Tubs
At Richmond Vitamins, we are excited to introduce our brand new biodegradable supplement tubs as part of our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Our biodegradable tubs are made from eco-friendly materials that break down naturally over time, reducing the impact on the environment.
Our Unique Biodegradable Packaging
We were so pleased to begin the roll out of our brand new 100% biodegradable tubs and labels. The base material for these new tubs is a vegetal-origin polymer obtained from starch and sugar cane fermentation, making it a renewable source material. This raw material comes from excess sugar capacity in developing countries in South-East Asia, helping farmers in rural areas with more stable sugar prices.
During the manufacture of our new tubs, the carbon footprint is approximately 75% lower than the carbon footprint of conventional plastic bottles and 90% of a glass bottle.
After the tub has fulfilled its life as a supplement tub, it can be reused or composted. The optimal treatment is composting. In this case, 90% of the packaging will have biodegraded in 6 months or less.
