Is Your Packaging Sustainable?

One of the pillars of North Shore Cannabis is compassion, and we believe in that not only to our staff and employees but to the beautiful planet that we inhabit. Not only are we a locally owned business, but we believe in sustainability and that environmentally friendly packaging matters. 

Due to the many regulations and compliances in the cannabis industry, there are strict requirements around cannabis packaging. Cannabis packaging must be childproof and must also be sealed a certain way to preserve the cannabis structure. Fortunately, there are solutions available that are as green as the product they are used to preserve. Before you make your next purchase, consider the following questions surrounding eco-friendly offerings.

Biodegradable

What is the packaging made out of, is the material fully biodegradable or are there harsh chemicals and plastics?

Recyclable

If the materials aren’t fully biodegradable, can every component be recycled? 

Multi-Purpose

If it is not possible to find materials that are 100% biodegradable and recyclable, ask yourself if the packaging can be reused. The purchase might be worth it if you can re use the packaging for future cannabis storage.   

Health-Risk

Are there any unnecessary or harsh chemicals used in the packaging? Exposure to harsh chemicals may pose a health risk, especially if exposed over a long period of time.

Education

Prior to your purchase, ask yourself if the company you are supporting believes in education and is doing their part to sell only products that they fully understand and believe in 100%. Knowledge is power and you can never ask too many questions of your supplier. A confident company will be excited to answer any questions and guide you through your cannabis journey. 

If you know more about the planet, you can do more for the planet.
