Packaging Information

There is no "away" ...reuse, recycle or compost.

Recycle: All Josie Maran products are packaged in glass, aluminum, plastic or paper and can be recycled. The outer carton is a 30% post consumer waste product.

Compost: The corn based resin, known as polylactic acid (PLA), is formed into containers and packaging for food and consumer goods. The plastic has several things going for it. It’s made from a renewable resource, which means it has a big leg up—both politically and environmentally—on conventional plastic packaging, which uses an estimated 200,000 barrels of oil a day in the United States. Also, PLA is in principle compostable, meaning that it will break down under certain conditions into harmless natural compounds. That could take pressure off the nation’s mounting landfills, since plastics already take up 25 percent of dumps by volume. So, when you are finished with one of the products housed in our biodegradable compact remove the mirror and throw it into your compost.

The following producs are packaged in biodegradable plastic: blush, bronzing powder, cream blush, cream bronzer, eye shadow, finger paints and pressed powder.
