Following the success of our 100g EcoTubs, we’ve expanded our second-generation EcoTub range to include a 300g size, available across our entire range of waxes and balms.
Having launched our 100g EcoTubs in March 2021, we’ve been so pleased with the response from our customers and we feel confident that sustainable packaging is the way forward. Made from sturdy reinforced cardboard, these pots are fully biodegradable and recyclable, and 99.5% compostable (the only non-compostable element being a very small amount of PVA to prevent leakage). These new 300g tubs have been through the same rigorous durability and anti-leakage testing as our 100g tubs, so you can continue to purchase with confidence.
Our first-generation brown EcoTubs have served us well over the years, and it’s been an exciting journey for us as we brought this innovative biodegradable packaging to the massage world. However, the brown EcoTubs had their limitations in terms of durability and oil seepage, and we were keen to develop a higher quality, more durable pot in a bespoke design; something that could really stand up against traditional plastic packaging. Over a year of trials and testing followed to develop a pot that could maintain the integrity of the wax inside, while looking striking on any therapist’s shelf. The result was a sleek, professional and sturdy biodegradable, recyclable and compostable EcoTub.
The launch of the 300g EcoTubs has also brought on a new feature. During our consumer feedback research, some of you commented that, while you love the new EcoTubs, once the lids are off it can be hard to tell which wax is which when giving treatments using multiple waxes. Well, we’ve listened to your feedback and we’ve now added a paper sticker to each EcoTub. The colour of the sticker matches the scent’s label colour, helping you to quickly identify the scent of the wax at a glance, even when the lid is off.
We’re proud of the development of our EcoTubs, both from a structural and an environmental standpoint. But we will always continue to keep a keen eye on the latest developments in environmentally-conscious packaging, to ensure we continue to offer the highest quality products to our customers at an affordable price. Your feedback is always welcome.
