Our Materials

We aim to provide the highest quality materials that are designed to be soft on skin and gentle on our planet. Our products are mostly compostable and we've worked hard to remove plastics from our supply chain. We've also committed to planting a tree with each purchase. But we're not perfect and, as we work towards zero-waste, we know sustainability is complicated. That's why it's important for us to be as transparent as possible about what goes into our products, where they come from, and the most responsible way to dispose of them.

Alpaca

Compostable // 100% baby alpaca fabric from Peru (not a blend and absolutely no nylon). Sourced from a Peruvian, family-owned business with over 20 years as an industry pioneer and one of the first to be certified with the Responsible Alpaca Standard (RAS) designed to ensure the welfare of the alpacas and the land they graze on.

Our alpaca fiber is processed and dyed in Peru using environmentally safe components which are "AZO" free and compliant with the European Union REACH certification. Our "natural" cover is made using rare, undyed yarn.

Snaps

Recyclable // 100% brass. Tested and certified to be lead-free by an independent lab approved by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. Our snaps are custom made for Lunapaca and manufactured entirely in the United States in a solar-powered factory. Brass is considered to be a sustainable metal since, unlike plastics, it does not degrade when it is recycled.

ELASTICS

Compostable // Natural rubber and organic cotton. A longer lifespan than conventional polyester elastics. Made in Malaysia, our elastics are REACH certified and OEKO-Tex Standard 100 certified (certificate 08-7282) to ensure it contains no harmful substances.

Cotton

Compostable**// Flats and wipes are made from unbleached, organic Indian cotton and made in Pakistan. Trimmed using synthetic thread for durability and to extend the life of these products. OEKO-Tex Standard 100 certified (certificate 20.HPK.35238) which means every component of these articles has been tested for harmful substances.

** Trim is not compostable. Please remove and dispose of trim prior to composting. For flats, this is the red thread only. For wipes, this includes all surged edges plus the center seam. We aim to replace all synthetic thread with cotton thread by 2023 to make these products easier to compost in the future.

Labels

Compostable // Organic cotton with a non-toxic, water-based ink. Made in Europe and in the USA.

Packaging

Recyclable + Compostable// Our plastic-free packaging is made from recycled paper and natural twine.

Shipping boxes and paper mailers are 100% recycled (95% post-consumer waste), made in the USA, curbside recyclable and naturally biodegradable. Hangtags, inserts, and tissue paper are also post-consumer recycled, acid-free paper and are curbside recyclable.

We use soy-based eco-friendly ink for printing and non-toxic, compostable adhesives to keep our packaging (including stickers, shipping label, and packing tape) compostable or recycled curbside.
