Packaging

Fat and the Moon packages nearly all products in glass and aluminum (both of which are forever recyclables), or PCR waste paper. Plastic is mostly only used in product packaging in the form of pumps and spray nozzles. They offer plastic free refills for products to avoid discarding these components as single-use items. Labels are printed on 100% PCR material with compostable ink.
