Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
The aim of the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is to define requirements to ensure organic status of textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labeling in order to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer.
GOTS is recognized as the world's leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibers. It defines high-level environmental criteria along the entire organic textiles supply chain and requires compliance with social criteria as well.

Pollast!c™ Mailing Bags
When you order your Cowrie, it will arrive in a POLLAST!C™ mailing bag.
We’re 100% committed to doing what we can to limit the amount of plastic our company uses to get orders to our customers. POLLAST!C™ is made from abandoned plastic pollution collected from coastal communities throughout Southeast Asia with no waste management infrastructure.

The bags are also carbon neutral.
Please recycle them with soft plastics.
Eco-Friendly Tissue Paper
Our custom tissue paper that we lovingly wrap your Cowrie in is made from recycled, biodegradable materials so that it's 100% compostable. The tissue paper is also acid-free, sulphur-free, and lignin-free paper certified by the Forest Steward Councilship (FSC), and can be composted at home or commercially. It is also printed in soy-based inks to fully compost without generating waste or toxins.
