Packaging & Sustainability

Packaging & Sustainability at The Wild Cauldron

Last Updated: 7th July 2025

At The Wild Cauldron, we’re returning to our eco-conscious roots.

After receiving heartfelt feedback from past brand reps and many of our wonderful customers, we've decided to move away from less eco-friendly packaging and step back into alignment with our original values — blending sustainability, practicality, and magical intention in every order.

Herbs, Resins & Ritual Product Packaging

We’ve made some meaningful changes:

  • Incense Resins are now packaged in paper seed envelopes.

  • Dried Herbs, Roots & Flowers are now packed in paper bags upon order to ensure maximum freshness. We recommend transferring them to your own jars or vessels once received. Stored in a cool, dry space, herbs in these paper bags will stay fresh for up to 6 months.

  • Occasionally, we may also use glassine bags or mini boxes for herb, roots, or flowers.

  • Incense Mixes continue to be packaged in reusable screw-top tins.

  • Magical Oils are bottled in glass dropper bottles, although we will soon transition back to dripolator caps, once our current stock of droppers is depleted.

  • Spell Kits are now packaged in paper bags or boxes, with all included herbs and ingredients packed in glassine bags instead of plastic. 

  • Bath Salts remain in plastic Mylar bags for now, as we seek better sustainable alternatives. 

  • Witch Powders are still in small plastic zip-lock bags, until a more eco-conscious solution is found.

  • Witch Salts are housed in glass bottles, adding a traditional and reusable touch.

  • All our labels are printed in-house using a laser printer. We are gradually moving toward compostable labels for an even greener finish.

Shipping Packaging

We’ve fully phased out plastic bubble wrap in favour of:

  • Ranpak (honeycomb paper wrap) to cushion your items safely and sustainably.

  • Tissue paper for added padding and presentation.

  • Biodegradable Packing Peanuts (Envirofill) – completely compostable and dissolvable in water.

  • Shipping Labels from Hero Packaging – their HEROLABELs are 100% compostable, made with natural adhesive and zero plastic.

  • Printed using our HERO Thermal Printer (HZD950-PRO), which also helps us print some of our product labels.

  • If we need to use mailers, we choose Black Home Compostable HEROPACK Mailers or HEROBUBBLE Mailers.

  • For small, flat orders, we may use prepaid Australia Post DL envelopes for efficiency and reduced waste.
