Eco-Conscious
Our planet is currently under threat as the climate crisis causes more damage throughout the world.
It is time for us act, for a better future and for mother nature.
One of our core values, at BioKissed, is to make a lasting and meaningful change to reduce the consequences of global warming, to make a positive difference for our future, for mother nature, for our planet.
Let’s Talk About Plastic
Single-use plastics were accidentally invented in the 1930s in the UK. From there, we saw a rising trend of single-use plastics becoming more widespread worldwide, and the product ranges were growing exponentially (from plastic bags, straws, bubble wrap, bottles, etc).
In the mid-’90s, marine researchers discovered a mass accumulation of plastic waste around one of the largest gyres in the Pacific ocean.
From here, the production and use of single-use plastic grew significantly as it has a meager production cost and can be used to make a wide range of items and products.
A shocking statistic increased in 2011, stating that globally, we were consuming about one million plastic bags every minute.
The rise of plastics has been massive since it was first discovered.
With an estimated use of:
- 2.1 million tonnes in 1950
- 147 million tonnes in 1993
- 400 million tonnes in 2022
It has been projected that by 2050, with no changes to our toxic behaviours we could be using around 34 Billion tonnes of plastic!
What do these numbers represent?

BioKissed and Our Awareness
BioKissed is very aware of the horrific effects that climate change is exerting, and we want to promote a zero-waste lifestyle to limit the accumulation of toxic plastic waste.
It begins with our commitment to using eco-friendly packaging instead of single-use and harmful plastic packaging.

Eco-Friendly
Packaging
We have made sure that our packaging is as recyclable and biodegradable as possible, as we strive to reduce our carbon footprint.
Honeycomb
Paper
Honeycomb packaging is a kraft paper-based material that is defyingly strong and provides great protection.
This packaging alternative is recyclable, biodegradable and compostable. It is thought that honeycomb packaging takes up to six weeks to break down in nature.
White
Interleaf
We add an additional layer of white interleaf paper, to further protect your products, ensuring they will arrive safely.
It is also completely biodegradable and recyclable.
Eco-Tape
To safely and securely close off our cardboard boxes, we use a biodegradable self-adhesive packing tape that is compostable.
Sealable Kraft
Paper
Kraft paper is a great alternative to sealable plastics,
this is used for our toothbrushes, straws and masks.
Made from wood pulp, kraft paper is said to biodegrade within a few weeks and is compostable!
Jute
Bag
Reusable, eco-friendly and can be re-purposed for many other uses around your home or as a travel pouch to safely store small items on the go!
Impact of Plastic Packaging
It is thought that packaging materials are now the largest market of single-use plastics.
This waste currently makes up almost half of all the plastic waste generated worldwide.
It can take up to 1,000 years of a single plastic bag to fully decompose.
As a result, single-use plastics are incredibly harmful to humans, animals, and our entire planet.
Plastic VS Eco-Friendly Packaging
If BioKissed were using plastic packaging for 10,000 Gold Starter Packs, we would roughly be using:
- 400 kg of Plastic Bubble wrap that would cost approximately IDR 14,000,000
- 1,200,000 cm of Plastic tape that would cost approximately IDR 960,000
It means we would have contributed to approximately 422.5 kg in plastic waste to the world, and we would have paid a total of IDR 14,690,000 to buy it.
What BioKissed uses to package 10,000 Gold Starter Packs:
- It means we contribute almost no amount of plastic waste.
- In total, we pay approximately IDR 30,600,000 to buy our eco-friendly packaging, as we want to make a difference in helping Mother Nature.
We strive to provide what’s best for your future and our planet.
Determined to be as eco-friendly as possible, we are using biodegradable and compostable packaging, which has a much shorter life cycle than any plastic products and can significantly reduce our carbon footprint.
