We don’t ship with compostable poly bag alternatives because we don’t feel they are the most sustainable option. They’re made with PBAT which is a petroleum derivative. This goes against our plastic and petroleum free mission, so we use recycled paper mailers instead, which are completely biodegradable.

Being 100% plastic free is the ultimate goal, but currently there are some single use plastic components in certain packaging, such as the plastic reducers in The Mascara or the lining in some lids. We strive to keep plastic use to an absolute minimum and only incorporate single use plastics if we feel no other alternatives exist. 

Most of our products are packaged in glass, aluminum, paperboard or bamboo.

You can return any of our glass or metal containers in good, working condition with the lids. Email us at contact@zerraco.com and tell us your mailing address along with how many containers you are sending back. We will email you a paid shipping return label.

You can also drop your containers off at any of our retailers that accept containers.
