Why Plastics Are Out and Eco-Friendly Paper Tube Packaging Is In

Ever wonder what happens when you toss out your plastic lip balm tube? Sadly, many of these tubes end up in landfills or oceans, where they harm wildlife and take centuries to break down. With More Than Lips' eco-friendly paper tube packaging, we provide a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic, fully aligned with our commitment to protecting the planet.

Why Have Plastic Tubes Been the “Norm” for So Long?

For decades, plastic tubes have dominated the beauty industry primarily due to their low cost and ease of mass production. Plastic is inexpensive and convenient, making it the go-to material for large-scale production. However, the true cost of plastic is hidden in its environmental impact. Every year, over 8 million tons of plastic waste pollute our oceans, with plastic lip balm tubes being a part of this problem. In contrast, More Than Lips’ paper tubes are biodegradable and compostable, naturally decomposing without leaving harmful residues. This switch significantly reduces the environmental footprint of our products.

Balancing Quality with Sustainability

Our paper tubes are more than just eco-friendly—they’re meticulously designed to protect your lip balm while offering 50% more product than typical lip balms. With only two parts—a cap and a base—our packaging is both sturdy and practical, keeping your balm fresh while perfectly reflecting the simplicity and sustainability that define More Than Lips.

We stand as a testament that you can choose to use sustainable componentry without compromising on quality. With our eco-friendly packaging, you can enjoy a product that not only looks good but also does good by reducing plastic waste and promoting a healthier planet.
