Recyclable or Compostable

Recyclability: All products designed for existing recycling infrastructure. Poly mailers recyclable at store drop-off locations (#4 plastic).

Compostable Options: Plant-based mailers certified to BPI standards, breaking down in 180 days in industrial composting facilities.

No Mixed Materials: We avoid multi-layer films that can't be recycled.

Virgin Plastic

No Virgin Petroleum: We've eliminated virgin plastic from our supply chain since 2015.

Recycled Alternatives: All plastic packaging uses post-consumer recycled resin, reducing carbon footprint by 65% vs virgin plastic.

Innovation: Continuously testing bio-based alternatives like algae-based films and mushroom packaging.

Designed for Circularity

Closing the loop on packaging waste

The EcoEnclose Circular Model

Source Recycled Materials

We purchase 100% post-consumer recycled plastic and paper, creating demand for recycled materials and supporting municipal recycling programs.

Design for Recyclability

Every product is mono-material (no mixed plastics or laminates) to ensure compatibility with existing recycling infrastructure.

Use & Reuse

Our packaging is durable enough for reuse. Customers report reusing mailers an average of 2.3 times before recycling.

Recycle Again

Clear recycling instructions on every package. We partner with How2Recycle to provide accurate, location-specific recycling guidance.
