A smaller footprint feels amazing!

Islands To Highlands is Eco-Friendly.

We feel that it is very important to help take care of our Big Blue Planet and to leave the smallest footprint whenever possible. We love to walk the walk and talk the talk so that is why we use recycled materials whenever possible. Since the get-go of our company being launched, we have been Green. Not only does our packaging come from recycled content, it can also be recycled back into our wonderful environment!


Here's a breakdown of our Eco-Friendly Packaging so you can see for yourself:


Recycled Flap & Seal Bags

Our internal flap & seal polyethylene bags are made from 100% recycled content and are recyclable. These bags offer our products clear protection from dust, dirt, moisture, and scratching. They also happen to be earth and archival-friendly. Manufactured in the USA.

Recycled Bubble Mailers

These are the world’s most eco-friendly bubble mailers -- made with at least 32.6% recycled content and fully recyclable! These padded poly bubble envelopes have cushioning to protect our goods in transit. They are moisture resistant and offer exceptional puncture resistance. They are made from 32.6% post-industrial recycled content (51% recycled content in the outer layer, 8% recycled content in the bubble layer and 8% recycled content in the capping layer). They are fully recyclable and accepted at store drop off or curbside services that take grocery bags. Manufactured in the USA.

Recycled Poly Mailers

The world's most sustainable poly mailer - made with 100% recycled content, 50% post-consumer content with a reusable tear strip and recyclable in thin film bins.

Corrugated Boxes

Our boxes are tough and are made from 100% recycled content and are 95% post-consumer waste. They are curbside recyclable and compostable (though recycling is preferred). Manufactured in the USA.

Retail Eco-Band Paper Wraps

Our Kraft Eco-Band Paper Wraps for our apparel are acid-fee and unbleached. They are 100% recyclable and biodegradable. Manufactured in the USA.

Kraft Jewelry Boxes

Our Jewelry Boxes are made with craft and white paper that come from 95% recycled content. They also can be recycled.

Mailing Labels

Our direct thermal mailing labels are 100% recycled and curbside recyclable. And with thermal labels there is no ink or toner used (imprinted only using heat). These truly are the world's most earth conscious direct thermal labels!

​Islands To Highlands Stickers & Labels

Our stickers and labels are made out of polypropylene which is 100% recyclable. The liner and adhesive used in the labels are all eco-friendly including inks free of Nickel (Ni) and Fluorine compounds (PFOS and PFOA).

We're not done yet!

Being 'Eco-Friendly" isn't a static thing. We must continue to evolve as technology blazes ahead. Therefore, as new and improved packaging materials come to light, Islands To Highlands will also continue to evolve right alongside. For us, it's not just talk...it's who we are down to the core. We want to provide packaging that brings our products to our customers safely and economically that will leave the smallest footprint possible. If a better environmentally friendly option comes up, we will jump all over it. One of the great things in working with sustainable packaging is how good it feels trying to figure out creative options for our products and smart solutions for customers---it can be a buzz.


It's also very important that we share a little Aloha back into the world whenever possible and being Green, as Kermit The Frog says, feels pretty dang good. We also contribute To Islands Conservation so it is very important to us that our packaging efforts assist and align with the mission that they and other like organizations are so valiantly doing. Again, walk the walk brothers and sisters...

Want to jump on board?

We feel that every company, large or small, could benefit from going down the same path when it comes to their packaging efforts. It's not as difficult or as expensive as you think, However, it does help when you partner with like-minded organizations who have the same outlook on business, offer a proactive-approach when it comes to working together and actually cares about what they do. We would love everyone to jump on board and go Eco-Friendly because the more who do, the better off we will all be. We have partnered with EcoEnclose for a lot of our Eco-Friendly packaging efforts.
