However, there are a few companies in the space gaining momentum in the push for sustainability.
From the way plants are farmed and nourished, to the way the end goods are packaged, most industry practices are not environmentally friendly.
PAQcase is one cannabis brand committed to using alternative plastics for a healthier planet.
The agricultural and retail sectors of the cannabis industry generate copious amounts of excess waste—150 tons annually, according to Spectrum News.
By law, cannabis retailers are required to follow stringent packaging protocols, including child-proof features, specific labeling and reliable materials.
While hemp plastic can be composted, it is nearly impossible to do so sustainably, as most hemp plastic products are made with petroleum-based plasticizers.
PAQcase’s customizable joint case, called the JPAQ, is not only made from OceanPür plastic, but it also encourages the idea of “reduce, reuse, recycle.” Doob tubes get thrown away immediately, while consumers hold onto the JPAQ long after the joints have been smoked.
Together, PAQcase and its sister brand PAQaging, have removed 35,000 pounds of plastic from the ocean.
PAQcase is the world’s leading developer of sustainable, premium multi-pack pre-roll packaging and accessories for the cannabis pre-roll industry.
One important feature that sets PAQ products apart from the competition is their patented gasket seals, which keep your herb fresh for longer periods of time.
The company takes pride in their white glove service, from the initial conversation until JPAQ is flying off the shelves.
As one of the first and few multi-pack joint cases on the market, PAQcase’s versatility and commitment to sustainability has averaged 4.5 stars from over 1500+ reviews on Amazon.
