SUSTAINABILITY
Our Commitment to a Healthier Planet
At Axobotanica, we believe that caring for our planet is as crucial as caring for our health. From day one, sustainability has been at the heart of our mission, guiding every decision as we planned and launched our company. We've reimagined the supplement industry with a focus on reducing environmental impact without compromising on quality or effectiveness.
A New Era in Supplement Packaging
Our Eco-Friendly Refill Program
- Pioneering sustainability: We're among the first supplement companies to offer refills in recyclable pouches.
- Slash plastic waste: Our refill program significantly reduces the need for new plastic bottles each month.
- Convenient and eco-conscious: Easily transfer your refill into your original bottle, combining sustainability with practicality.
- Join the revolution: By choosing our refills, you're actively participating in reducing plastic waste in the supplement industry.
Pouches with a Purpose
Giving New Life to Recycled Plastic
Our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint extends to the very material of our refill pouches.
These recyclable pouches are thoughtfully made with 47% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content, giving new life to materials that would otherwise contribute to waste. Furthermore, we've designed these pouches to be recyclable, allowing for their responsible disposal.
By choosing our refill program, or simply choosing a pouch over a bottle, you're not only supporting your wellness but also actively participating in a system that prioritizes recycled materials and end-of-life recyclability.
The Natural Protector Inside
Plastic-Free Moisture Control, Naturally.
What is a desiccant? It's the small packet you often find inside product packaging, designed to absorb moisture and prevent spoilage, ensuring the quality and integrity of the contents. For our supplements, we've chosen Micro-Pak Dri Clay® Kraft, a naturally powerful and sustainable option.
Certified Plastic-Free: Our desiccants are the first and only with Plastic Free Certification from Control Union.
Outperforms Synthetics: More effective at absorbing moisture than silica gel or calcium chloride.
Safe & Non-Toxic: Meets FDA and EU requirements for contact with food and drugs. Also natural and biodegradable.
Our Approach to REDUCING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
We've tackled the issue of excessive packaging waste head-on:
- Our bottles and lids are curbside recyclable.
- We offer a refill program for our capsules, allowing you to reuse your original bottle and reduce waste.
- Our refill pouch packaging is 47% PCR (post-consumer recycled waste) and they are recyclable.
- When you subscribe, your first month supply comes in a bottle, and then subsequent orders come in pouches to reduce plastic.
- We use 100% natural, biodegradable and certified plastic free desiccants.
- All of our shipping materials are made from 100% recycled materials and are recyclable.
We're committed to reducing our carbon footprint across all aspects of our business:
