FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Is your shipping eco-friendly? expand_less expand_more At Aleah’s Boutique, we are taking steps to make our packaging as eco-friendly as possible. Here are some of our accomplishments to date: Our soap wrappers are made from plantable seed paper. The plantable seed wrap is a biodegradable eco-paper made with post-consumer and post-industrial paper waste that is embedded with seeds. When the paper is planted in a pot of soil, the seeds grow and the paper composts away. You will then be left with beautiful wildflowers (including Bird's Eye, Clarkia, Back-Eyed Susan, Sweet Alyssum, Catchfly and Snapdragon). See below the instructions for planting the seed paper. The mailers used to ship our goodies are home compostable and are made from renewable bioplastic film. The mailers break down into healthy compost leaving no microplastics. The boxes we use to package our products are made from recycled and recyclable material. Furthermore, the crinkle paper used to protect the goods are dye-free and recyclable. When applicable, we also fill our boxes with biodegradable and compostable starch packing peanuts. These peanuts are decomposable in water leaving no toxic waste and static-free organic starch.We also use eco clear gusset bags to package our soaps (boxes or bags are used depending on the quantity purchased). These gusset bags are biodegradable, compostable, and a sustainable alternative to traditional packaging. Our custom tape is FSC-certified crepe paper and is printed using soy-based inks. It is also curb-side recyclable after use.Our custom hangtags are made from FSC-certified and recycled card-stock. Printed with soy-based or HP non-toxic inks, the hangtags are recyclable and home-compostable! These are some of our eco-friendly packaging initiatives that we have implemented to date to help the planet. Further initiatives are underway to get to 100% eco-friendly packaging in the near future!  What are the instructions to plant my plantable seed paper? expand_less expand_more Place your seed paper on soil that is slightly compressedAdd 1/8 inch of soil on top of the paper and water itEnsure that the soil is always moist and in a sunny area Wait patiently as you should see sprouts within 7-10 days!Enjoy the beautiful flowers How much will my package cost to ship? expand_less expand_more At checkout when you enter your shipping detail, you will get an estimate for the shipping options and prices for your specific order.
