Doing our bit | Environmental Impact

Here at Wild Son working towards a more sustainable future and building a world for my children with less of a footprint is something that is at the forefront of the decisions we make. This is an area that we continue to build and grow in, as we work towards using less plastic and make choices that have a healthier impact on our world. These are a few of the initiatives that we have made to work towards a more sustainable impact when building our business and talk through how you can do your bit to keep the good work going!

HOW TO END THE LIFE OF YOUR R3PACK BAGS

R3pack compostable bags can be used time and time again, we recommend stashing them to the side to use as a courier bag again by placing another label over the top of ours, or by turning them inside out. Other options are: 

  • Use them as weed matting
  • Use as seedling bags
  • Use for food waste

Once the bag is looking a little more worse for wear you can either compost them at home or through a commercial composter.
