Carmex Jar Goes Green

Hello Friends,
At Carma Labs, we are constantly on the lookout for ways we can bring Carmex to you in more environmentally-friendly fashions without compromising our product. I am pleased to report that we have good news on that front: we have made the Carmex jar “greener”.

Don’t worry, we haven’t changed the product or the amount – you still get .25 oz. of the same moisturizing lip balm in each jar. Now, there is simply less jar. We made the bottom of the jar more concave which uses 20% less plastic in every jar. This small reduction in waste adds up quickly: we will reduce our plastic use by 70,000 pounds each year! That annual reduction of 35 tons of plastic also means that we’re saving 35 tons of freight from being shipped which means less fuel will be used.

For those of you diehard jarheads who are longing for the opal glass jars of days gone by (we stopped shipping those in 1996), you can still order those directly from Carma Labs. The minimum order is 12 jars ($24; includes shipping). If you are interested, please call 1-414-421-7707.

The new greener jar should be starting to hit the shelves of stores near you now. Please contact us if you have any questions. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Paul
