What sustainable packaging materials is MitoQ now using?Updated 23 days ago
Polypropylene bottle & cap
After many attempts, we've developed a minimum polypropylene black bottle and cap that can be easily recycled in all countries as waste collection infrastructure improves. Also known simply as PP, polypropylene is fantastic at protecting your MitoQ and making sure moisture doesn’t get in while our product is on its way to you. It’s durable, so we don’t need to worry about it breaking during shipping, and there’s no need for you to worry about separating the bottle and cap when disposing of it. PP can be processed several times so it is a truly circular economy product. It took a lot of trial and error to achieve this, but we’re so happy we took this step.
Boxing made from environmentally responsible paper
As you may have noticed, our revamp extends beyond the MitoQ bottle. The box that protects our new bottles is made from environmentally responsible paper which has been produced using PEFC certified pulp from responsible sources.
Environmentally friendly inks
Our packaging makeover extends to the inks we’re now using. We've opted for environmentally friendly inks – which can also be recycled.
Recyclable courier bags
Wherever possible, we’ve also switched to recyclable courier bags that are made from post-consumer and post-industrial materials. Even the removable adhesive backing is from recycled materials. After much consideration, we chose not to go ahead with fully compostable courier bags because, if they go into landfills, they degrade slower than plastics. As many of our customers don’t have home composting systems, we decided this was the most environmentally friendly choice - for the time being.
No more bubble wrap
It wouldn’t make sense to go to all of this effort to create environmentally friendly packaging – and then keep using bubble wrap to protect your MitoQ. So, where possible, we’ve gotten rid of it. In place of bubble wrap, your MitoQ bottle will now be wrapped in an “Ecowrap” which is recyclable, biodegradable and compostable. It’s made out of paper sourced from sustainable forests.
