We care about the environment. As important as a healthy body is, a healthy planet is a must for the sake of humankind.
Wingsets, as a company, reflects the concerns and vigilance we each have individually about our impact on our environment. In our 14 years of business we have not had to reorder shipping peanuts because we save and recycle all those we receive in shipments. Your order may arrive in a box that looks a little battered, because when they are safely usable we recycle those as well. You will notice that we use HDPE (recycle #2) bottles for most of our products.This plastic is one of the 3 plastics considered to be safe, We struggled over whether to use glass for all of our products, and we did for awhile, but the additional shipping weight added to the cost of the order we send you, added to the shipping charges when the heavier glass is shipped to us definitely enlarges the carbon footprint (sorry, really tired of that term, but couldn't think of anything else). There is also the added risk of damage in shipment and for these reasons glass is not the best choice for all products. However, we DO use amber glass for our pure essential oils, our Spicey Muscle Oil and some of our facial products, as these products will degrade if placed in plastic bottles. Glass is the only option for undiluted essential oils. Our air fresheners are housed in aluminum bottles that protect the beneficial properties of the ingredient and are "infinitely recycle" - read more.
We continue to research product packaging options in order to be proactive in our choices, and have been sampling newer items as they are developed.We have recently sourced a glass company that makes only glass products and a wide variety at that. So we will revisit this option again. Let us know what you think - we would love that feedback.
Please be sure to recycle and reuse our packaging to reduce your carbon footprint on our planet. We repeat this logo on the bottom of each of our product pages to reiterate the importance of recycling.
