The BEST Mug Protection, Now in 100% Recyclable Pulp Packaging

Why We Upgraded the Packaging (and What It Solves)

Pain points: cracked handles, chipped rims, rattling in box → refunds & delays.

What Is Molded Pulp Packaging?

Plain-English definition: formed from recycled paper fiber; custom-fit trays cradle ceramics.

Benefits:

• Shock absorption
• Snug fit (no rattle)
• Stackable
• Curbside-recyclable in most paper streams.

“Fragile” = Items prone to breakage, such as glass and ceramics.

• These require enhanced packaging, careful handling, and clear labeling to signal the need for special care during transport.

• They are distinct from ordinary goods and even from less delicate “semi-fragile” items.

How to Recycle Your Pulp Packaging (1-2-3)

1. Flatten outer carton, place in paper/cardboard bin.
2. Place a molded pulp tray with paper recycling (remove any non-paper labels/tape).
3. Check local guidance if contamination or wetness is a concern. (General consumer guidance corroborates that molded pulp is typically accepted where paper/cardboard is collected.)
