Sustainability at Soap Cult Australia

We believe that our daily choices can have a big impact on the environment. That's why as a small business, we've made earth-friendly packaging choices so you have one less thing to worry about.  

Shipping box, wrap + fill

• All shipping boxes are made of cardboard and are recyclable. Remember to remove any labels and packaging tape first
• We use a compostable and biodegradable void fill to cushion and product your order in transit. Made from wheat or corn starch, it's totally natural and water soluble.
• Sometimes we need to use Australia Post satchels. These are recyclable and can be taken to your nearest RedCycle collection point.

Promotional materials

Your order will contain a range of branded goodies, such as custom printed tissue paper, a welcome card, our business card and an embossed paper sticker to secure your products. Where possible, we've chosen recycled papers and soy based ink. 

Each time we place an order for tissue paper, a tree is planted. How cool is that!

We suggest keeping the business card to give to a friend and whacking the welcome card on your fridge, because you're in a cult now.

Product packaging 

Our products are wrapped in a biodegradable, polyolefin, plastic free wrap. It's only available from the USA and we've been using it on our products since 2018. Best of all, it's scent permeable so your soap stays dust-free and wonderfully smelly until you're ready to unwrap and use your soap.

Our handmade soap

Our products are entirely biodegradable, septic tank safe, plastic glitter free and return to source.

You can scrub and wash to your heart's content and know that everything going down the drain is entirely earth-friendly.

At the end of their life, they can be either composted or placed in your regular bin.
