The growing concern over the use of plastics in tea bags and packaging has caught our attention—and for good reason. The push towards eliminating non-recyclable plastics is something we stand firmly behind.

In light of your increasing inquiries regarding whether teapigs' products contain plastic, we've crafted this guide to transparently share the materials used in our products and provide guidance on their disposal, recycling, or reuse.

Our Pyramid Tea Bags

Composition of Our Tea Pyramids

We're delighted to confirm that our pyramid tea bags have always been free of plastic. Constructed from cornstarch, a biodegradable carbohydrate derived from corn, the tea temples, along with their strings, uphold our commitment to sustainability. The tags are crafted from straightforward paper, and everything is bonded through heat, avoiding the use of adhesives. This makes our tea temples entirely biodegradable, and allows you to enjoy teabags without worrying about consuming teabag microplastics!

About Our Outer Cartons

Our external paper tube cartons boast FSC certification, symbolizing our dedication to environmental stewardship. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a prestigious organization that sources materials exclusively from responsibly managed forests, ensuring their preservation for future generations. These cartons are not only recyclable and reusable but also biodegradable, and we consciously avoid the use of excess metals in our packaging to minimize our environmental impact. For further information on the FSC and their vital role in global forest conservation, we encourage you to visit their website.
