FAQs
Are cardboard tubes recyclable?
Paperboard tubes are widely recyclable. Windows, liners, and certain closures may differ — we label parts clearly and recommend checking local programs.
Do you offer compostable windows?
Yes — PLA window caps are available and labeled as industrially compostable where programs exist. PET windows are offered where recyclability access exists.
Can these be food-safe?
Yes. We pair tubes with appropriate liners (foil, glassine, PE, or PLA) based on your product’s oil/moisture needs.
