Dear Beloved Customer:

The folks at Natural Heritage wanted to let you know that we have taken a very important step by starting the use of BIODEGRADABLE packing peanuts to ship your Essiac Tea products. Our new packing peanuts are made from cornstarch. When compared to Styrofoam packing peanuts, they require fewer resources to manufacture and the whole process produces fewer emissions. Also, none of the emissions they produce are carcinogenic or harmful – contrary to those produced during the manufacture of Styrofoam peanuts.

Entirely plant-based, biodegradable packing peanuts will dissolve after soaking them in warm water for approximately 15 minutes, making it impossible for them to wind up polluting oceans, lakes, rivers, or waterways. They can also be recycled or even composted in a garden or lawn. Please join us in our effort to be more environmentally friendly by correctly disposing of or re-cycling our new peanuts. No need to dispose of packing peanuts in the trash any longer. One caution, since these peanuts dissolve in water, be careful not to leave the boxes on an unprotected porch or deck. If you have any questions about how it all works, give us a call.

Sincerely,

Natural Heritage Staff
