REUSABLE IS BETTER THAN RECYCLE, BUT WE DO BOTH.
Did you know that billions of pounds of water are shipped around the globe just to bring you skin care products? Products in traditional packaging not only contribute to significant landfill waste each year (estimated at more than 1.2B pieces) but costs us in a high carbon footprint. That’s a lot of wasted fuel, energy, and resources. DEW MIGHTY is changing things up to avoid unnecessarily shipping of heavy water with our undiluted beauty products. We pledge to always make robust containers that can easily refill so you can buy once and its reused instead of tossing in the trash (or wishcycled). Everything we develop uses the highest standards of safe, nontoxic, and innovative technologies. Preventing the need for landfills is why we strive zero waste and plastic free. We care about our planet and we love that you do too.
LET'S TALK MATERIALS AND SHIPPING FOOTPRINT.
SQUARE CONTAINERS
Custom designed plated steel and robust for refilling throughout its lifetime. All materials used are considered food safe, nontoxic, and 100% recyclable. It conforms to a best size and shape for on-the-go travel of your bar (spill proof since we are solid and don't melt!). Weighing in 95% lighter in ingredient weight and traditional packaging materials (like glass) removing all the plastic. Intended for refill so you buy once and use endlessly.
CYLINDERS
Laser etched strong aluminum alloy houses our newest innovation with a stainless steel charm and ball chain for our logo. All materials used are considered food safe, nontoxic, and 100% recyclable. It easily stows and remains spill proof in any travel bag for a deep clean wherever life might take you. Weighing in 95% lighter in ingredient weight and traditional packaging materials (bye bye leaking pumps and caps!) while removing all the plastic. Intended for refill so you buy once and use endlessly.
GLOSSY PAPER
See that gloss? It made from plants! Our exclusive natural based veggie coated paper is FSC certified and printed with plant based inks that was created specifically for DEW MIGHTY. It is considered home and industrial compostable and recyclable so it will never be tossed in a landfill. We went the extra mile and developed them to be folded and designed to eliminate the glue typically needed for paper boxes (yup- even glue is plastic!). Our lot code stickers and retail essential labels are uncoated paper and tested to be compostable.
INSERTS & SHIPPING MATERIALS
All of our marketing and shipping materials are recyclable and compostable. This includes our insert cards, glassine paper sleeves, kraft shippers, and kraft paper tape with plant starch adhesive. We go the distance to eliminate all plastic in all aspects of our products and shipping process and print with plant inks to ensure they turn into soil instead of trash.
CARBON NEUTRAL SHIPPING
Every order is analyzed through a carbon offset calculator and we fund reforestation to offset emissions created by our packages with each and every order. We go a step further and also calculate company footprint to be a carbon neutral/negative operation based on our resource consumption for manufacturing and day to day operations. Yup we care that much.
PROUDLY MADE IN CALIFORNIA, USA
We are located in Hermosa Beach, California and proudly make our product locally in California! If you have been learning about us you will know we care about fair practices, supporting local refill businesses (that's right we say no to selling on Amazon), and quality products that last in your possession but not in landfills!
EVER HEARD OF COMPOSTING? IT'S BEST FOR OUR PLANET BUT DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE.
Here is the real deal. Being able to compost organics saves us tons of methane releasing gases. *spoiler alert* (((pun intended))) this is the very reason why food scraps in the landfill, often wrapped in plastic bags, remain petrified instead of becoming soil. It doesn't have the right conditions to easily break down. Composting is the best way to make nutrient soil quickly and in a way that Earth natural supports! This is why our veggie coated gloss paper was made to be compostable AND recyclable so you can choose.
We know all cities, regions, and countries are unique for their composting rules. We recommend you follow your local guidelines for composting if the items are picked up for regional composting processes. If you are at home composting we understand each person has a unique balance of materials to achieve the right ratio of carbon to nitrogen and we do recommend you shred/cut our paper added for best incorporation.
