How to Compost Your Box

Congratulations! You’re One Step Closer to composting your box!

Composting your Forrist box isn’t just about waste—it’s a powerful statement for sustainability. By closing its eco-cycle, you reduce landfill waste and drive meaningful environmental change. Ready to complete the cycle?

The Reality of Sustainable Packaging

Even with the best intentions, sustainable packaging can end up in landfills if not properly managed. Many people are unaware that compostable packaging, when not composted, contributes to waste problems just like non-compostable materials. By choosing to compost, you’re helping to mitigate this issue and support a healthier environment. Your efforts are truly making a difference!

Why Kraft Boxes Are Ideal for Composting

While recycling is valuable for materials like glass and metal, not all packaging is best suited for it. Compostable packaging, such as your Forrist Refill Collection box, is specifically designed to return valuable nutrients to the earth when properly composted. By taking this step, you’re helping reduce landfill waste, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and enrich the soil. Composting ensures eco-friendly packaging truly completes its intended cycle, making your actions part of a more sustainable, responsible future

Understanding Our Kraft Boxes

Our kraft boxes are made from natural, unbleached wood fibres, free from harmful chemicals, and meet rigorous compostability standards. This ensures they can break down smoothly in home compost, returning nutrients to the soil instead of lingering in landfill. From holding your goods securely to enriching the earth after use, these boxes complete a cycle that keeps resources flowing naturally.

 

Ways you can compost your box

Nurture Your Soil at Home

Compost Your Box At Home

Tear your Forrist box into small pieces and add them to a well-maintained compost bin along with kitchen scraps. Keep it moist and turn regularly, allowing the box to break down into nutrient-rich compost for your garden.

  1. Prepare the Box: Tear the kraft box into small pieces to speed up decomposition.
  2. Add to Compost Bin: Mix the pieces with other compostable materials like fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and garden waste.
  3. Maintain the Compost: Keep your compost moist and turn it regularly to ensure proper aeration.
