Packaging is a huge part of weed product compliance, but oftentimes compliant packages are made from materials that will sit in a landfill for eternity. Read up on sustainable weed packaging in this article.

There are a lot of marijuana packaging companies operating in the United States and some european countries.

They design and manufacture doob tubes that commonly hold joints or vape cartridges and also airtight jars meant for varying amounts of flower, but only a few of these companies are looking forward to sustainable cannabis packaging options.

Alongside the issue of plastic and non-sustainable materials, many states require excessive packaging for an edible or other product to remain compliant.

To some cannabis growers and producers, it’s simply not important that they use compostable packaging, but that isn’t always the reason why shelves are lined with mylar-bagged weed.

The reality is that sustainable packaging is more expensive, which drives up a company’s bottom line, which means that sustainable packaging leads to a more expensive product on store shelves.

Oftentimes, the bargain value is more important and companies are left facing low sales — so, ultimately, the consumer decides whether or not compostable and biodegradable options will sink or swim.

Despite this upward climb, some marijuana packaging companies have continued to innovate their eco-friendly offerings.
