OUR PACKAGING

We care deeply about our earth and all beings that depend on each other to thrive. Our ethos is inspired by the principles of permaculture, shaping a way of working that seeks harmony between nature, craft, and community. Here's what we are doing:

Our products are packaged in glass bottles and jars, paper bags and cellulose sachets.

We use aluminium not plastic lids that can be easily recycled.

For our hard-to-recycle plastic pumps and dropper tops there are two options - either refill your product with us or drop them off in our Terracycle collection box where they will be given a second life (for real).

Our labels are made of stone paper, not plastic, by the award winning company Wrapt.

Together, we can give new life to your Wellington Apothecary vessels.

-
Glass vessels can be repurposed in many ways, try reusing your vessels as candle holders, spice jars, propagation stations, plant holders and more. Visit our Pinterest page for beautiful ways to repurpose your vessels.

-
Your clean and dry glass vessels, lids, mists and pump tops can be dropped off in-store. These items are sent to a Terracycle recycling facility where they are recycled and repurposed. Please note that recycling that is returned unclean may not be accepted and can end up in landfill.

Return your clean, dry, and label-free Wellington Apothecary glass vessels for community reuse. Many are repurposed by us, while the rest are made available in-store for others to collect and reuse—free of charge.
Refill your vessels with clay powders, bath salts, roll-on aroma blends, essential oils, and herbal teas whenever we have bulk stock available. Just ask in-store!
We compost our store waste in-house and use home-compostable tea packaging—just remove the tin ties first. Our clay mask sachets are also compostable. Learn more about them here.
