Sustainability: Sugarwish and Our Vendors
ALL Sugarwish cardboard packaging and PET plastic containers are fully recyclable. Popcorn containers are also made with 10% post consumer content.
TEA
Art of Tea Sachets are made to be biodegradable. The bag is made from a corn derivative and is sealed with sound waves, not staples. Use your tea bags as compost by simply burying them in your garden.
Teatulia sachets are biodegradable and they use regenerative farming to grow self-sustaining tea gardens. Teatulia is a Public Benefit Corporation which means they balance profits with social causes and environmental responsibility. (more info)
Cusa Tea’s packaging is mostly all recyclable but the tea sticks are not yet. However they “terracycle” mass quantities if you want to send in a collection of the empty tea sleeves. (more info)

DOG TREATS
Woofables Gourmet dog biscuits are healthy and use human-grade ingredients. No preservatives, corn, soy or wheat. They give back to their community by supporting animal shelters, dog parks and charities.
The Pound Bakery uses sustainable energy to bake their treats. Their massive solar installation is in the shape of a large dog bone and paw print :) and includes more than 4,300 solar panels. It produces enough energy to cover 100% of their manufacturing and distributing energy needs, plus offsets 1456 tons of annual greenhouse gasses. (more info)
MIXERS
Simple Times Mixers use high quality glass that is 100% recyclable and can find a second life in your home, such as as a flower vase, food storage or the perfect bottle to brew sun tea.
Simple Times Mixers use the whole fruit when crafting mixers to minimize waste. For example, they infuse their organic simple syrup with blood orange zest and send pineapple and citrus rinds to their distillery partners for fruit-infused spirits. (more info)
