Currently, we only direct ship samples internationally. If you are located outside of the U.S. or Canada, we can ship your order to you using an intermediary U.S.-based freight forwarder. We ship your order to the freight forwarder, and they ship it to your international address from there. Freight forwarding businesses are frequently used for international shipping and are widely and easily available. These businesses are generally located in all major U.S. port/coastal cities. Using a freight forwarder is easy: 1) Contact a freight forwarder and make arrangements with them. It may be best to find a freight forwarder on the coast of the U.S. closest to your country. For example, if shipping to the Caribbean, Miami or Jacksonville-based forwarders are good options. If shipping to Europe, Boston or New York would likely be ideal. 2) Create your cart and check out on our website using your name and address for billing. Use the name and address of your freight forwarder for the shipping information. They should take care of the rest!

Our compostable products not only break down into soil, but through their production and disposal, they use less energy and water. They also release less harmful pollutants than their conventional counterparts like foam and plastic. For example, you can make two compostable forks with the same amount of energy it takes to make one plastic fork and three compostable plates with the same amount as one foam plate. That’s a 66% savings of energy. Using less energy means producing less greenhouse gas and emitting less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Conventional plastics are manufactured from 20 different petroleum-based resins with 20 different levels of recyclability and toxicity. As a fossil fuel, petroleum is a non-renewable resource and its extraction process degrades the environment. Due to the difficulty and complexity of recycling, over 20 million tons of plastic are sent to landfills each year. All of the brands and products we sell are personally vetted by our team. We list all product specs, materials, and compostability certifications on each page for your shopping convenience.
