Sustainability
Maiiro’s philosophy is to become the industry leader in terms of sustainability and recyclability, supporting the environment by reducing the use of plastics wherever possible and using only natural, organic and ethically sourced ingredients. Transparency is a way of life for us and we are proud to, at all times, be able to track where our raw materials and packaging come from.
Our packaging is already 100% recyclable and some of the cardboard used is actually made from seaweed, further improving the sustainable aspect of our products. Looking after our planet by supporting the environment is a responsibility we take very seriously and where possible, we aim to lead by example, educating where we can and trying to always give more than we take.
Packaging components
We want to be as transparent as we can be about the components of our packaging so you know what you’re buying. But we want to let you know that we’re 100% recyclable, 41% biodegradable and working on being 100% plastic free.
