At TeaMates, we are dedicated to minimizing our environmental footprint through sustainable packaging practices. With a strong commitment to sustainability, we consistently challenge ourselves to find eco-friendly alternatives for every material used in our products. Fortunately, we have successfully identified recyclable materials for most components of our packaging, including the case, tea box, and tea sleeve.

However, our commitment goes beyond recycling. We explore innovative ways to make a positive impact by encouraging our customers to do more than just dispose of our packaging in the recycling bin. We prioritise the aesthetics of our products, ensuring that they not only look appealing but also inspire our clients to engage in upcycling efforts, such as our tea boxes.
Plant-based Tea Bag and Used Tea LeaveFor tea bag, we opt for plant-based materials that are commercially compostable. As for the used tea leaves, we actively encourage our clients to embrace eco-friendly practices by composting them at home or dropping them in an worm farm. This way, we contribute to starting a new life cycle, providing new soil to the growth of new-season.Detail mattersWe challenge ourselves outside of our products as well. For examples, all the tape we use to seal the case and online order packaging, we use paper tape instead of plastic tape, because detail matters aligning with the value we believe.
Detail Matters
Continuous Improvement
When it comes to individual tea packaging, ensuring the delicacy of our teas remains our top priority. Nevertheless, this commitment does not deter us from seeking eco-friendly alternatives. In line with our ongoing efforts, our next step is to join the Soft Plastic Schema across our entire product line.
