Why we use high-barrier pouches

Sensitive botanical ingredients such as Ashwagandha require protection against oxygen, moisture, and light. To preserve product stability and quality throughout the full shelf life, we use high-barrier stand-up pouches.

Packaging is part of product quality. Barrier performance matters as much as ingredient sourcing.

Materials we use

• Paper / kraft outer layer for stiffness and a stable print surface.
• Multi-layer food-contact inner materials with documented barrier properties.
• No PLA and no so-called “bioplastics” that cannot be properly processed in standard recycling streams.

Recycling information

Each pouch includes clear sorting instructions and recycling symbols based on regional systems:

• BE / NL: PMD
• DE: Gelber Sack
• FR: Bac jaune

We prefer clear, realistic sorting guidance over vague sustainability claims.

Documentation & compliance

For every packaging component we maintain technical datasheets and food-contact declarations in accordance with applicable EU regulations (including EU 10/2011 where relevant).
