Sustainable and biodegradable practices here at Highpothermia. We’re passionate about providing top-shelf cannabis products, but we’re also committed to doing our part for the environment. That’s why we’re excited to introduce two sustainable options that will help you enjoy your favorite strains while keeping the planet happy. We are super excited about the new biodegradable packaging coming from JKD.
Biodegradable Tap Tubes: Ditch the Plastic
Say goodbye to those pesky plastic pre-roll tubes! We now offer innovative, biodegradable tap tubes for your pre-rolls and joints. These awesome tap tubes are made from plant-based materials and will decompose naturally, leaving no harmful microplastics behind.
Here’s how they help the environment:
Reduced Landfill Waste: Plastic tubes take hundreds of years to break down, clogging landfills and harming wildlife. Biodegradable options decompose quickly, minimizing waste. For a preroll tube that will last, on average, 12 minutes as it’s overall lifespan.
Safer Oceans: Plastic pollution is a major threat to marine ecosystems. Biodegradable tubes won’t end up in our oceans, protecting marine life. It’s estimated that by 2050, the ocean will contain more plastic by weight than fish.
Sustainable Materials: Plant-based materials used in these tubes are a renewable resource, unlike petroleum-based plastics. Using biodegradable materials can reduce carbon emissions by up to 60% compared to traditional plastics . Simply toss into a fire, or break them down how you like, you can even bring them back to us to recycle.
Eco Jars: Reuse, Repurpose, Refill
We also offer eco jars, reusable glass containers perfect for storing your favorite flower. Not only are they good for the environment, but they also come with some fantastic perks! Helping you, help the environment.
Benefits of eco jars:
Sustainable Choice: Glass is a much eco-friendlier option than single-use plastic bags. It’s endlessly reusable and can be recycled at the end of its life. Recycling glass reduces related air pollution by 20% and related water pollution by 50% . Not to mention it just looks makes all the cannabis look that much better.
Preserves Freshness: Glass provides an impermeable barrier against moisture and air, keeping your cannabis fresher for longer compared to plastic drams. The non-porous nature of glass means it won’t absorb odors or leach chemicals into your cannabis . Only terp tickles, nothing else.
