Love seeing new eco-friendly startups!! Quick tip: Network with local businesses that have sustainable practices. Joint marketing could be a win-win since your target audiences overlap!

Great initiative! Remember that compliance with packaging regulations is key even for eco-products. Have you looked into the necessary certifications? It might be a good idea also to research potential allergens or substances in recycled materials that could affect the integrity of shipped products, especially if they're food-related.

Got any samples? As a small biz owner, I'd love to try out your packaging.

Fantastic! I assume you make sure the recycled materials are sourced responsibly? It’s important to think about the full lifecycle of the packaging. Also, make sure they’re actually being recycled after use - perhaps provide info on how to dispose of them properly?
