    After use
    Plant-based polyethylene is the same plastic made from sugarcane instead of oil. It lowers the fossil carbon, recycles like any polyethylene, and is NOT compostable.

    Look and feel

    Matte, slightly waxy moulded plastic with fine grip ribs. Natural white, or moulded in a colour matched to your spot colour. A short strap keeps it tied to the pack.

    Printing on it

    Caps aren't printed. The colour is moulded in, and coloured caps carry their own minimums.
