• EcoSmart tube: Made in USA, Post Consumer Recycled content with additive to enhance biodegradation in biologically active environments.

Alpenglow uses only EcoSmart plastic for our lip balm tubes. This is an earth-conscience, sustainable solution because it breaks down in biologically active environments. It’s FDA Compliant, scientifically tested and validated, and Made in the USA.

EcoSmart plastic is made with PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) and PIR (Post-Industrial Recycled) plastic and then an organic additive is integrated to enhance biodegradation.

The microbes in marine ecosystems and landfills do not feast on traditional plastic to break it down, in part because it repels water. The EcoSmart additive attracts both moisture and microbes to create a biofilm that allows the molecular structure of the plastic to expand and break down. The living microbes secrete enzymes which accelerate the biodegradation process, so the polymer breaks down into humus (rich organic soil).
