Sustainability
sustainability at planteet
at planteet, sustainability is not a trend — it’s the foundation of everything we do. our mission is to reconnect people to earth-centered care through simple, natural oral care rooted in tradition and respect for the planet.
our miswak sourcing
we source our miswak sticks directly from farms in pakistan, where the salvadora persica tree grows naturally without the need for synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers. every stick is hand-harvested, sun-dried, and minimally processed to preserve its natural benefits.
plastic-free promise
our commitment to the planet means we never use plastic our products. each miswak stick is vacuum sealed for freshness, then placed in a reusable and biodegradable bamboo holder or paper-based pouch. we're constantly researching alternatives that preserve quality without sacrificing our zero-waste goals.
our packaging journey
we believe in progress over perfection. while our bamboo holders and shipping materials are fully plastic-free, we currently use a vacuum seal made with plastic to protect the freshness and hygiene of our miswak sticks.
this packaging was part of our first production run, and we chose it to preserve quality while we researched better alternatives. we're actively sourcing plant-based, compostable vacuum seal options and plan to fully transition once our current inventory is complete.
our goal is a fully plastic-free, refillable experience. in the meantime, we're committed to full transparency and welcome any feedback or ideas from our community.
refillable and reusable
planteet is designed to reduce everyday waste. our bamboo miswak cases are made for reuse and travel, so you can refill with new sticks instead of buying new containers. we also encourage our customers to compost or repurpose any packaging that comes with your order.
ethical practices
we work with partners who prioritize fair wages and ethical labor throughout the supply chain. as we grow, we're committed to scaling responsibly — building relationships with communities that protect cultural knowledge and natural resources.
conscious shipping
we ship with recyclable, minimal packaging and avoid excessive materials. wherever possible, we use carbon-neutral shipping providers and encourage batch orders to reduce emissions.
our vision
sustainability isn't a checkbox , it's a daily practice. we believe in honoring ancestral knowledge, eliminating excess, and helping people care for themselves without harming the earth. planteet is a small step toward that future, and we’re grateful you’re walking with us.
