The company says it has reinvented cardboard, making it rugged enough to stand up to soggy coolers and rainy fishing trips. Plus, Earthrings are totally biodegradable, so you can add them straight to the garden compost.

Earthrings are designed to reduce packaging waste and are crafted from multiple layers of solid fibre cardboard with a biodegradable, moisture-resistant coating. These are 100% recyclable, compostable, and made with environmentally friendly inks, providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic packaging.

Earthrings provide several key benefits:

  • Reduced Environmental Impact: they decompose naturally, helping to reduce landfill waste and ocean pollution.
  • Versatility in Disposal: They can be easily recycled or composted, offering flexibility for consumers and minimizing negative environmental impact.
  • Durability and Strength: Despite being eco-friendly, Earthrings are designed to securely hold and protect beverage cans.
  • Reduced Packaging Waste: It is estimated this transition will divert 23,529 kg of packaging waste annually from the landfill.
