Are you sick of plastic? I am.
Have you seen the disgusting images of our oceans strewn with plastic? I have.
Now a clever company called Noissue have introduced a better option. It is plastic looking packaging but it is made from Corn.
It has the qualities of plastic; it is durable, it offers protection for the product inside, but it is compostable. Noissue have used soya bean ink on the corn packaging so that it is truly environmentally friendly. We love it and we hope that you will too.

Kavu are honoured to join Noissue's Eco Alliance. When you buy a garment from us, we buy packaging from Noissue and their alliance programme plants a tree somewhere in the world that needs it. You can view a map of the areas where trees have been planted throughout the world and the number of trees currently planted in the programme.
See below, their Eco Alliance award which is displayed on our website.
Together we can make the world a better place.
The Facts (Taken from the Noissue website)
NoIssue continually strives to be a leader in design, innovation, and sustainability. All our ink is soy-based and our tissue is completely acid free and FSC Certified, providing you with a premium packaging solution without harming the environment.
-Soy ink is a kind of ink made from soybeans. As opposed to traditional petroleum-based ink, soy-based ink is more environmentally friendly, might provide more accurate colors, and makes it easier to recycle paper.
-'FSC' stands for Forest Stewardship Council, an organization that works to promote the practice of sustainable forestry worldwide. The Forest Stewardship Council ensures customers have the option to choose forest products like paper and wood that have been sourced in an environmentally-friendly, socially responsible and economically viable manner.
-Acid-free paper is paper that is infused in water yields a neutral or basic pH (7 or slightly greater). It is also lignin- and sulfur-free.
Being environmentally conscious is one of our core values and as such we hold ourselves accountable. It is 2019. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Fortune 500 company, or a boutique shop owner, we should all be striving to be eco-friendly.
At Kavu Clothing we totally agree.
