Healthybud is a certified plastic negative brand.
We partnered with RePurpose Global to fund the removal of plastic from our environment. For every Healthybud bag sold, two bags worth of plastic is removed from our oceans and forests.
With your support, we're committing to a plastic-free environment.

What does Plastic Negative Mean?
What does Plastic Negative Mean?
By going Plastic Negative with rePurpose Global, we're committing to fund the removal & recycling of 2x as much plastic waste from nature as we use in our packaging.
Under our Plastic Negative Certification, all of our products will carry a negative plastic footprint.
This is plastic that would otherwise be landfilled, burned, or flushed into waterways and oceans.
How exactly does this work?
How exactly does this work?
In very basic terms, we remove twice as much plastic from the environment as we produce.
Every year, we send a report to our partners at RePurpose global with the amount of healthybud™ bags sold.
For example, if our sales are 10,000 bags a year and each bag has 10 grams of plastic/unit, our annual plastic footprint is ~100 kg/year. At a rate of $0.55/kg, our Plastic Credit costs would be $25.
However, because we've decided to be plastic NEGATIVE, for every bag sold, we pledge to donate double the credit amount to remove 2x our plastic footprint. In keeping with the example, our Plastic Credit costs would be $25x2= $50.
Why are you still using plastic?
Why are you still using plastic?
We're constantly looking for a more eco-friendly material to replace the plastic used in our pouches. But the truth is, plastic is a magical material with an impressively low environmental footprint.
Plastic is durable, leakage-proof, and guarantees high quality products stay intact by the time they reach you. The problem with plastic doesn’t lie in the material itself, but in the way we manage it.
We're currently exploring more innovative & sustainable packaging options but until then, we are excited to be committed to this plastic negative initiative.
