Working on it. We do individual servings because they preserve freshness - that's the only reason we do it. It's hard for us to do compostable since we are still very small compared to your average consumer good, but we are 100% committed to doing it when we are big enough. We even have 2 sustainability advisors involved with the company.

Cool. I'm not the one who originally posted the question but had the same one upon checking out the starting page. Great idea, something I would be interested in signing up for, but too much plastic at this point.

Totally hear that. The tubes are recyclable and we are testing a programme where folks can send the back to us for re-use.

+1 for this. The amount of waste in the current model is unfortunately a non-starter for me or my girlfriend.

Yeah, the amount of plastic waste here would eliminate a lot of the kind of thinking buyers you might normally get. Hope you find a solution, and hope you sell in Netherlands!
