A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS
We have gone a great length to ensure our Business is sustainable in every aspect of our daily operations so we put together a list of the great brands that make Biocasa run!

STICKERS - NO ISSUE
Our Biocasa stickers are supplied by No Issue and are made with:
- FSC Certified Paper
- Acid Free Paper
Our paper stickers are made from cellulose fiber where the active acid pulp is eliminated during processing. The pulp is also lignin- and sulfur-free, meaning that our ink won’t transfer from the stickers and the paper won’t leave behind any of these chemicals when decomposing.
- Soy-based Inks
Soy inks are an eco-friendly alternative to petroleum-based inks, made from soybeans, a renewable resource. While soy inks are slower to dry than many inks, the process produces more vibrant colors as well as having the added benefit of not leaving behind petroleum-based products when decomposing. Finally, soy inks have low levels of VOCs, reducing air pollution during the drying process.
The company was founded in New Zealand and is proud sponsor of the No Issue Eco-Packaging Alliance: For every order they receive, they’ll plant trees in areas of need.
It’s a great way to contribute to global reforestation and show off our eco-friendly packaging!
