sustainability
At Butt Naked, we're dedicated
to cultivating a sustainable brand with a focus on cutting down waste, ethical sourcing and transitioning to eco-friendly materials in product packaging
and warehouse materials.
We're not perfect, and we're cool with that.
Let's face it, this stuff is tricky, and even with the best intentions, small companies like ours face challenges from manufacturers, supply chains, big industry and technology.
Despite the challenges, we're committed to doing our best to tread lightly on the planet and running a business that's co-conscious and kind to Mother Nature. Transparency is huge for us, not because it's fashionable, but because it's essential. We're not just jumping on the eco bandwagon for a quick ride – it's genuinely part of who we are. Taking care of our environmental responsibilities is seriously important to us, and we're ready to roll up our sleeves and get creative in minimising our ecological footprint wherever we can.
Some areas of focus for our sustainability team include:
1. Continuously improving our supply chain transparency
2. Optimising packaging and transitioning to eco-friendly materials.
3. Minimising our environmental footprint by effectively managing gas emissions and waste.
doin’ our bit for mother nature
ingredients
1. They keep dangerous chemicals out of our ecosystems, so our fishy friends stay safe and sound and can keep swimming happily.
2. No reef damage here! Chemicals can mess with coral's nutrition and put the many ocean animals that live there at risk.
3. Natural exfoliants in place of Microbeads (plastic beads used in some exfoliators). Microbeads end up in our waterways and eventually in the bodies of fish and other marine life.
We're proud to call ourselves 'Plantarians' – not just because we're against animal cruelty, but also because it's better for the planet. Our ingredients are gentle on your skin, and you'll never find any nasties like synthetic colours, silicones, parabens, microbeads, and more in our products. Not only are these bad for your skin, but they're also bad news for Mother Nature. Who's got time for that? Dive into our clean ingredients and see for yourself!
packing orders
We're big on reusing too. Every cardboard box that lands in our warehouse gets a second life, packing up wholesale and large orders. We don't let anything go to waste! And if an order needs a little extra cushioning, we've got bio-fill on hand. Made from Aussie corn and potato starch, it's biodegradable and dissolves harmlessly in water. Plus, it's compostable, so feel free to sprinkle it on your garden – it's like a treat for your soil!
packaging & printing
Now, let's talk labels. Our face mask labels are made from Bagasse fiber, a renewable, tree-free material derived from sugar cane paper. This stuff is created mainly from sugar cane waste, capturing atmospheric carbon during growth and converting it into biomass. Using Bagasse means a lower carbon footprint, helping to reduce pollution and preserve precious forest ecosystems.
But we're not stopping there. Our face mask tamper seals boast FSC-certified environmentally sustainable label materials. What's FSC, you ask? It's Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) Chain of Custody certified goodness, which tracks the label's journey from tree to us, ensuring responsible sourcing every step of the way.
We're always on the lookout for even more sustainable options for our product labels and packaging. Our goal? To make each product as green as can be and kiss those unfriendly-to-nature components goodbye. But hey, bio packaging is still in its infancy, so bear with us as we work hard to source the materials and resources needed to make our eco-dreams a reality. Our vision? To sprinkle bio innovations throughout every facet of the business, one step at a time. Thanks for being patient as we journey towards a greener future!
