Recycling & Sustainability Guide

At DUINE, sustainability is not a feature - it is our foundation. Every collection is crafted with care for both people and the planet, using materials that honour nature and create a more mindful way of living. Below is a simple guide to help you recycle, repurpose, and enjoy your DUINE pieces responsibly.

Our Materials & Sourcing

Made in Ireland & Europe
All DUINE products and packaging are produced within Ireland and Europe to minimise transport emissions and support local makers.

FSC-Certified Paper
Every paper element, from labels to inner boxes, is sourced exclusively from FSC-certified suppliers.

No Single-Use Plastic
We choose natural, recyclable, or reusable materials across all products and packaging.

Eco-Conscious Ribbons
Our ribbons are made in Ireland from eco-polyester created using recycled plastic bottles.

Tea Pouch
Our herbal tea pouches are made from previously recycled materials and are already on their second life.

How to Recycle Your DUINE Packaging

1. Outer Box
Fully recyclable.
Please remove the small magnets from the lid before placing it in your recycling bin.

2. Glass Packaging
Both our candle jars and serum bottles can be rinsed and recycled with glass recycling.

3. Tissue, Filler & Paper Packaging
All tissue paper, protective filler, and paper wrapping are fully recyclable.

4. Shipping Boxes & Kraft Tape
All shipping boxes and paper tape can be placed directly into your recycling bin.

Product Reuse & Multi-Use Design

Sustainability also informs the way we design every product inside our wellness boxes. We believe in thoughtful, multi-use items that extend the ritual and reduce waste. Our herbal tea pouch offers four to five brews, supported by our reusable cotton tea filter – simply empty the used tea into your household waste, wash the filter, let it dry fully, and use it again. Our large bath bombs are created to be enjoyed across three baths, offering a longer-lasting, luxurious experience while limiting single-use excess. Even our organic cotton skincare bag, included with the serum and gua sha set, is intentionally made for reuse – ideal for storing jewellery, travel essentials, or small personal items. And once your candle jars or serum bottles are empty, they can be easily rinsed and repurposed as elegant vessels for keepsakes or home rituals. By creating products that last longer and serve multiple purposes, we support more sustainable wellness practices and offer you eco-friendly gifting that feels both elevated and responsible.

Why Sustainability Matters

At DUINE, sustainability is at the heart of every decision – from the materials we source to the way each product is crafted and delivered. As a slow-living, Irish wellness brand, we believe that self-care should never come at the cost of the environment. Our commitment to using eco-friendly packaging, recyclable materials, plastic-free solutions, and ethically sourced ingredients is more than a value; it is a responsibility. In a world increasingly filled with mass-produced goods and excessive waste, we want to offer thoughtful, environmentally conscious products that honour nature, support local craftsmanship, and encourage more mindful gifting rituals. Choosing sustainable packaging and green materials allows us to reduce our impact while offering you high-quality, purposeful pieces that feel good to use – and good for the planet.

What FSC-Certified Paper Means

All DUINE paper elements, from product labels to inner boxes, are made using FSC-certified paper – a globally recognised standard for sustainable forestry. FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification ensures that the wood pulp used to create our paper comes from responsibly managed forests that protect biodiversity, support fair labour practices, and prioritise regeneration. By choosing FSC-certified sources, we avoid contributing to deforestation, habitat destruction, or harmful supply chains. It allows us to offer you eco-friendly packaging that is fully recyclable, plastic-free, and aligned with the highest environmental standards. Using FSC-certified paper reflects our wider mission: to create beautifully considered, sustainable Irish products that respect the land we live on and the future we are shaping together.

A Natural Approach

We choose natural materials wherever possible, favouring paper over plastic. Our labels, packaging inserts, and inner boxes are all paper-based and FSC certified.
