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.
