❄️ WOSO FICMAS: Dec. 20 - Lauren Hemp ❄️

Lauren Hemp x Reader (Man City) | WC: 982

Dec. 20 prompt - secret santa

-> woso ficmas masterlist can be found here!

You were thrilled when Ellie suggested a Secret Santa gift exchange between the team after practice. You loved giving gifts to people and you loved your teammates so it seemed like a win-win. Once everyone had finished showering and gotten dressed, you all scribbled your names on a small piece of paper before tossing in someone’s beanie.

You watched as the players before you drew names, trying to gauge who they got based on their reactions but you were unsuccessful. When it was your turn, you held your breath as you reached into the hat, grabbing the first piece of paper you touched.

Holding the paper away from any prying eyes, you opened the neatly folded paper to see a name you were partially hoping to not get. You tried to keep your reaction neutral as you stared at the printed “Lauren.” it’s not that the blonde was hard to shop for, but the crush you had on her made you nervous just thinking about pulling her name.

You avoided eye contact with the blonde, eyes falling to the floor after some teammates picked their person. You missed Lauren’s eyes dart to you after she picked a name, having also picked you.

You were partially listening to the rules of the gift exchange being announced, knowing someone would forget and need to be told over text later. The team started slowly filtering out of the locker room, ready to head home after a long training session. Your mind was racing with thoughts of the forward you were crushing on, hoping this gift exchange could be your opening to telling her how you felt.

You were proven right about someone needing a reminder of the rules later that night when Alanna asked for a reminder in the team group chat. You knew the rule of “keeping it a secret” but you were planning on ignoring that specific rule in favor of writing a note inside a Christmas card that would be attached to the wrapped gift you were planning on giving Lauren.

Lauren’s love of LEGO sets was not a secret so shopping for the blonde was easy. You knew which ones she already had, having seen most of them set up around her apartment whenever you hung out there. You decided on getting her the flower bouquet LEGO set, thinking it could also double as cute home decor.

Two weeks later you were sitting in the living room at Steph’s house, your teammates slowly starting to arrive. You nervously kept glancing at the wrapped LEGO set under the Christmas tree, hoping that Lauren would like it.

Once everyone arrived and had something to eat, Steph gathered everyone in the living room before she started passing out gifts. The captain made sure everyone had their gifts before sitting down and giving the go-ahead for everyone to open their presents.

You heard some of your teammates laugh at the things they received, jokingly saying “it’s what i’ve always wanted.” You laughed alongside them as your fingers worked to ride the wrapping paper from the box sitting on your lap. The box was a little heavy which made you nervous about what could be in there.

When you opened the box, your eyes were wide at the sight of a special edition of one of your favorite books. You had only mentioned the book maybe once or twice around the team so you were shocked that someone had remembered. When you looked up to see if anyone, in particular, was watching your reaction to the gift, the only pair of eyes that met yours was Lauren’s.

You knew then that the blonde was your secret santa even though neither of you spoke. A light blush coated both of your cheeks as you mouthed a quiet “thank you” to the blonde. She nodded her head towards the LEGO set next to her as a way of showing she knew it was from you.

With a quick look around the room and seeing none of your teammates were paying attention to you, you pointed to the card that was lying on top of the LEGO box that read “read later” across the envelope. Lauren stood up, grabbing the envelope as she did so, and made her way into the kitchen knowing no one was going to notice she left.

You had hoped that this wasn’t going to make things awkward between the two of you but you needed to let the forward know how you felt about her. You gave her a few minutes before making your way into the kitchen to join her.

You found her propped against the counter, eyes scanning the card multiple times.

“I know it's supposed to be a secret and everything, but I wanted you to know it was from me,” you said quietly, alerting the blonde of your presence.

Lauren’s head lifted from the card, finding you standing nervously by the entryway. She sat the card on the counter making her way toward you and hesitated before pulling you into a tight hug. Your arms wrapped around the blonde, hoping that this wasn’t going to end with her telling you she didn’t feel the same.

When you pulled away, neither of you broke eye contact. Lauren bit her bottom lip, seemingly deep in thought before her eyes darted towards where all your teammates were.

“Can I kiss you?” the forward rushed out, needing to show you how she felt.

You quickly nodded and when Lauren’s lips met yours in a kiss, you knew it was a good thing to break the rules. The kiss was short but conveyed both of your feelings that you kept secret for a while. It was a start and since you’d both be going home soon, it was more of a promise that something special would be waiting when you got back after the break.

What Is Hemp?

It’s A Trillion Dollar Cash Crop.

Hemp is a name given to a strain of the cannabis plant.

Hemp is a name given to cultivars of the cannabis plant (Cannabis sativa) that have been selected over many generations for fiber and seed production. Most hemp cultivars contain less than 1.5% THC, a narcotic compound that has the potential for abuse in high concentrations. Cannabis sativa cultivars selected and developed for their drug properties, referred to as marijuana, or dagga, can have a THC content of 3%-25%.  Hemp is a bast fiber, producing its fibers in the stalk similar to flax, kenaf, and sun hemp.

Multiple Uses

Hemp fiber and seed are used to produce a wide range of commodities including food and beverage products, fiberboard, insulation, paper, composites, textiles, carpets, animal bedding and feed, cosmetics, body-care products, soaps, paints, fuels, and medicines.

Hemp Seed Food and Beverage Products

Hemp seed contains about 25% protein, 30% carbohydrates, & 15% insoluble fiber. Hemp seed is reported to contain more easily digestible protein than soybeans. Hemp seed contains all 8 amino acids essential to human nutrition. Hemp seed is high in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, carotene, sulfur, iron and zinc, as well as Vitamins A, E, C, B1, B2, B3, and B6.

Hemp seed imported into the United States or Canada must be steam sterilized at between 180 degrees F and 212 degrees F for 15 minutes to prevent sprouting. Many US facilities receive imported viable seed under customs bond, steam it, and release it to the consignee or customer with a Certificate of Sterilization.

Hemp food and beverage products include hemp oil and seed, flour, pasta, cheese, tofu, salad dressings, snacks, sweets, hemp protein powders, soft drinks, beer, and wine. Hemp beer can be made from the seed, flowers, sprouts, and seed cake that is a by-product of oil pressing. Hemp beer is produced and sold in Europe and the United States of America.

Hemp Oil

Hemp seed is 25% to 35% oil, and is one of the oils lowest in saturated fats (8%). Hemp seed oil is the richest source of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (80%). Hemp seed oil is the only common edible seed oil containing Omega-6 Gamma-Linolenic Acid. Hemp seed oil is very fragile and not suitable for cooking.

Pressed hemp seed oil must be bottled immediately under oxygen-free conditions, and must be refrigerated in dark, airtight containers.

Fiberboard

Hemp fiberboard tested by Washington State University Wood Materials and Engineering Laboratory proved to be two and one half times stronger than wood MDF composites, and the hemp composite boards were three times more elastic.

Hemp herds can be used in existing mills without major changes in equipment. Russia, Poland and other Eastern European countries already manufacture composite boards from hemp and other plant materials.

Pulp and Paper

The major use of hemp fiber in Europe is in the production of specialty papers such as cigarette paper, archival paper, tea bags, and currency paper. The average bast fiber pulp and paper mill produces 5,000 tons of paper per year. Most mills process long bast fiber strands, which arrive as bales of cleaned ribbon from per-processing plants located near the cultivation areas.

Composites

Until the 1930’s, hemp-based cellophane, celluloid and other products were common, and Henry Ford used hemp to make car doors and fenders. Today hemp herds can be used to make new plastic and injection-molded products or blended into recycled plastic products. Hemp fibers are introduced into plastics to make them stiffer, stronger and more impact resistant. Hemp plastics can be designed that are hard, dense, and heat resistant, and which can be drilled, ground, milled, and planed.

Hemp plastic products currently made include chairs, boxes, percussion instruments, lampshades, bowls, cups, spectacles, jewelry, skateboards, and snowboards.

Hemp Animal Care

Hemp horse bedding and cat litter are produced and sold in Europe. After oil is extracted from the hemp seed, the remaining seed cake is about 25% protein and makes an excellent feed for chicken, cattle, and fish. Chickens fed hemp seed on a regular basis have been found to produce more eggs, without the added hormones used in most poultry plants.

Fuels

Hemp seed oil can be combined with 15% methanol to create a substitute for diesel fuel which burns 70% cleaner than petroleum diesel. Hemp stalks are rich in fiber and cellulose, making them conducive for conversion into ethanol and methanol fuels that have a higher octane than gasoline and produce less carbon monoxide. These biomass fuels are also free from sulfur, and do not require the addition of lead and benzene used to boost octane and improve engine performance in fossil fuels. Ethanol holds condensation, eliminating oxidation and corrosion, and is reported to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 30%.

Hemp has been studied in Ireland as a biomass fuel to generate electricity. Hemp has been reported to yield 1000 gallons of methanol per acre year. Hemp stalk can be converted to a charcoal-like fuel through a thermochemical process called pyrolysis. Henry Ford operated a biomass pyrolitic plant at Iron Mountain, Michigan in the mid-20th.

Paints and Varnishes and Binders

Until the 1930's, most paints were made from hemp seed oil and flax seed oil. Hemp oil makes a durable, long lasting paint that renders wood water-resistant. Hemp herds have the potential to make glues for composite construction products that are non-toxic and superior to binders currently used. With this technology, industry can produce composite products where all components are derived from hemp.

Markets for Hemp Pulp

Some paper manufacturers already have the equipment to process decorticated hemp fiber into paper. The leading European supplier of non-wood pulp, Celesa, currently produces about 10,000 tons per year of pulp from hemp. The use of hemp pulp in blends with recycled fiber of other non-wood fibers is growing. Tests by several European pulp and paper producers suggest that hemp pulp may replace cotton cost effectively in several specialty paper applications.

Potential Markets for Medical Application of Low-THC Hemp Cultivars

Many cannabis medicines have been produced using cannabis cultivars high in THC, and there has been medical research into cannabis that is low in THC and high in CBD.  CBD is a cannabinoid that does not have many of the psychoactive effects associated with THC.  CBD has been used to treat the following medical conditions: epilepsy, dystonic movement disorders, inflammatory disorders, pain, chronic insomnia, chorea, cerebral palsy, and Tourette's syndrome. According to a July 1998 report by the National Institute of Health, CBD may hold promise for preventing brain damage in strokes, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and even heart attacks and has been found to prevent brain cell death in an experimental stroke model.

Rat cages do and dont's

I thought this would be a good reference post for those who have rats are or are thinking about getting rats, considering the amount of misinformation I see on this site about rat enclosures. I honestly could make a series of posts about rat care misconceptions as a whole but I think this is a really important one. Of course there are some exceptions to these, such as in the case of hospital cages or travel/temp cages, but that's not what I'm talking about in this post.

1. Do make sure it's the proper size

Rats need about 2.5 square feet per rat, and adding height or extra levels doesn't add to this, only adding floor space will. A critter nation, a popular rat cage, can only hold four rats. Adding a unit on top doesn't increase the amount of rats you can keep in one, only adding floor space by adding a unit on the side can increase the rat limit. 32x20x24 is the absolute minimum cage dimensions. There are many other brands that meet the requirements and are suitable, make sure to always check the dimensions. Plastic neon critter trails from PetSmart are never ever acceptable.

2. Do use loose substrate all along the base.

Rats are a fossorial species that need to be able to dig and burrow, and thus need at least a few inches of a suitable substrate to be properly enriched. Lining your cage with fleece or blankets is not suitable at all and is something I see many people doing too often. This is not proper rat care. Additionally do not use paper or clay pellets as a substrate through the whole base. Certain types of pellets are okay in litter boxes but aren't a suitable substrate.

Paper bedding is often used and it's not inherently harmful but paper has very poor ammonia control and the ammonia in rat pee is very bad for their delicate respiratory systems. You will need to change this out much more frequently to insure they're not breathing in a bunch of ammonia and it will stink alot more. Plus paper bedding can be more expensive. All around I wouldn't recommend it at all.

Wood shavings are a really good option, depending on the type. Certain woods like cedar and raw pine will release chemicals that aren't good for rats at all. Pine bedding is alright if kiln dried, but some rats still may be sensitive to it, in my experience. Aspen bedding and hemp bedding are great options. Make sure the bedding isn't too dusty, certain brands are less dusty than others, but it isn't too hard to sift the dust out on your own usually.

In the case of bio-active enclosures eco earth and other types of soil make really good substrates, but this type of cage set up honestly deserves its own post.

3. Do have proper ventilation

Like stated before the ammonia in their pee is very bad for their respiratory systems, therefor a cage needs to be properly ventilated. Bin cages, tanks and aquariums, any cage that doesn't have proper ventilation on all sides, is harmful. They need to have proper air flow in and out of the cage. That's why cages with the typical four wired sides and wired top is best. I even see homemade cages with two sides made of wood and two sides made of wire cloth and this isn't okay either. (Not to mention wood cages are improper as well do to pee absorption and being able to be chewed through)

4. Don't use too many levels

Little to no levels should be used in your cage if you want an active lay out. Try replacing them with lava ledges, ropes, branches, baskets and the like, to make the cage layout more enriching and to keep them active and healthy. Ramps especially aren't recommended, this can cause laziness, hind leg degeneration, and wired ramps can cause bumble foot. Wired anything except for the sides of the cage are a big no.

Some people keep one or a minimal amount of levels and I think this is okay depending on what you do with it. I keep one level in my cage to hold a dig box but all other additional levels have been removed.

5. Do fill it with the right things

A big cage that goes above and beyond the size recommendations but isn't filled properly is still subpar. They need lots of enrichment and alot of "clutter" so to speak, to feel safe. A wide open bare cage will not make them feel secure and they will be extremely bored.

They should have lava ledges and ropes and the like for climbing. Sea grass mats and branches made of safe wood also are great. Check beforehand to see if any wooden item is made of a wood that's safe for rats, as some wood is toxic to them. I personally use grape wood and apple wood in my cage.

Foraging toys are also a great, and I'd say necessary, addition to any proper cage. They need things to keep them from getting bored, they are extremely intelligent animals and foraging toys or small puzzles like that are great for them. Actually lots of toys for parrots are great for rats.

They should have at least a few different places to sleep, such as hammocks or hides. I like to have at least one of either for everyone rat.

Fall breakers. This is extremely important to insure the safety of your rats. If your rat falls from the top of the cage, fall breakers are there to catch them and avoid potential injuries. Seagrass mats, nets, and Ikea tie holders are amazing for this, I recommend multiple. You should have enough that there's not too many open spaces your rat can fall through. They also additional give your rat more things to climb on, making the layout more active.

Rats can be littered trained, and paper litter pellets are good for litter boxes, or a different type of substrate then the one you use for the rest of the cage. Just make sure the litter tray doesn't have a wired bottom.

Also additional I recommend having nesting material available in the cage, such as Timothy hay or orchard grass or anything along those lines. They really do enjoy putting nests together with them and it adds some texture variety for them.

6. Do have proper water sources

Rats should have access to clean, fresh water at all times. They should have multiple sources of water.

Bowls aren't bad but are very likely to be spilled, spoiled, or contaminated and need to be changed at least daily. If you do give them water in a bowl they should still always have at least one bottle, though I would recommend more depending on how many rats you have.

7. Don't house rats alone

I think most know this but I'm adding it on in case. Rats are social animals and you cannot replace their need for same species companionship. They should be grouped in groups of two at minimum, and two is the absolute minimum. Three or more is actually much more recommended. Housing a rat alone for long periods of time is down right cruel.

Also don't house them with non rat animals, such as mice and hamsters and the like. They should not under any circumstances be interacting with other species, other than their fellow rats and their humans. Your cat grooming them is not cute.

If there's anything I forgot to say, feel free to add on.

Upgraded "An Squeak Peak-Cage"

Before:

After:

Shang was never digging around, except in his house - Soooo I thought i add more litter GUESS WHAT? Successss!!!

In Detail:

Me: weird, Shang doesn't dig, but he should!!! 😱

Internet: Some hamsters won't dig if the litter isn't deep enough...

Me:.....hmmm...

Ok time to rearrange the cage:

-Levels raised

-All heavy objects mounted on platforms or stilts

-Used different bedding/litter in layers

- While I'm at it, lets add an observation tunnel

- Then I provided a cork burial box, a second sand bath with Mellissen smell to calm the nerves, a container of peat and desert sand for the senses.... and then I sprinkled the surfaces in different ways: paper bedding, wood shavings, moss and hemp.. .As well as a porcelain tunnel and laid out and vines - provided for his claws.. ..

-Plus: a granite stone to cool off...

AND SHANG WAS SO HAPPY AND SO AM I! He was actually SO happy that he fell asleep while digging around on that day 😂 He is back to sleeping in his house now tho xD

Ginger,

Baby,

Hello?

Hi.

I have,

something to say.

I am scared sometimes.

No idea,

If it's all the hour-long minutes I spend alone,

Or if it's my mind,

drowning,

in its own thoughts.

Or is it my childhood fear of the darnkess,

still lingering,

somewhere in the back of my mind?

You see,

the little room of my life?

It doesn't have a lamp yet.

But now,

now my baby I am tall enough,

To reach up there,

Finally have some light,

So that I can write love poems.

Ten year old scared me,

Imprisoned,

In the shadow I cast on the wall.

Staring at me from behind,

As I sit in dim light filling the room,

Late at night.

Waiting,

To be freed so he can go and play with his red truck toy with yellow wheels.

Knees pressed against my chest,

Thinking,

About you and me;

About me,

Tracing every single blink,

on your "face magnifique" ,

About you,

Looking back at me;

"Will she see the love covering my whole face?"

I ask myself.

"That invisible glitter..."

Will you warm your little hands,

By the heat,

Radiating out of my pupils;

Melting,

my bones,

and the marrow in between.

Will you love me still,

When you find yourself,

In my room,

With pictures of you;

Fully covering all four of my walls.

When you come to realize,

How mad I am,

About you.

What do I do with all that,

All that fear flavored frustration,

Except hold it in my mouth like a lollipop,

Let that sweet and sour taste,

slowly cover my tongue,

Leave me with a black one.

It's all the

"serons nous nous"

And the

"Quel genre de nous allons nous être"

That scares me.

Because I,

My ginger baby,

I love you.

And want you.

And not having all of you?

All of you ,

Simply,

Scares me.

Only one way to numb away this pain,

now that you're not here to make it go away.

To all the sad songs I listen to,

when you are away from me on this cold planet,

I swear;

"I will own the world"

Not to rule,

But to hand it to you,

In a box covered in hemp paper,

For "R "

Written on it with discretion.

Only one question remains to be asked now.

I buy orange and white cigarette style tubes for the classic traditional cigarette aesthetic and smoke it with non thc herbal blends that I roll myself. No nicotine no tobacco. In conclusion I am a hot dude without a nicotine/tobacco addiction and YOU can be too!

I buy the herbal blends from a coop that grows it themselves

Cigarettes = bad for you and everyone near you but unfortunately the energies and visuals are extremely sexy and erotic. The scent of charred tar alone.

Vapes = bad for you and nobody else but the energies and visuals are extremely asexual and repelling. Even the idea of someone addicted to strawberry vape juice immediately makes anyone dry as the sahara desert. Free birth control

Beyond Rolling Papers: The Growing Need For Comprehensive Smoking Kits Today

With evolving lifestyles and the increasing popularity of recreational activities, products for joints have become much more than just simple rolling papers. Smokers today look for complete kits that offer a seamless and premium experience, whether at home or on the go. The growing preference for smoking kits highlights not only the demand for convenience but also the need for quality tools that enhance the entire rolling and smoking process. As more enthusiasts explore the best ways to roll a joint, comprehensive smoking kits are becoming indispensable.

What’s in the Box? A Peek Inside Today’s Comprehensive Smoking Kits

Modern smoking kits are no longer limited to papers alone. They now come packed with accessories designed for every stage of the process—from grinding the herb to rolling, lighting, and even storing pre-rolls. Essential tools such as grinders, trays, filter tips, lighters, and rolling paper dispensers ensure that smokers have everything they need at their fingertips.

For example, Smoke Proper offers a Smoking Rolling Kit that includes two free rolls, along with 24 feet of premium rolling paper. This kit features both Elements Slim Width and RAW Kingsize Classic papers, each designed for maximum customization and ease. Whether you're rolling for a quiet evening or preparing for an adventurous day, a fully equipped kit simplifies the process, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience.

From Convenience to Customization: Why Smokers Prefer Kits

One major reason for the rise of smoking kits is the combination of convenience and customization. With pre-assembled kits, smokers save time and effort by having all the essential tools readily available. These kits are particularly appealing to both beginners learning the art of rolling and seasoned smokers who seek precision and consistency.

Customization is another driving factor, with smokers able to select their preferred paper type, grinder size, or tray design. The ability to adjust rolling paper lengths using dispensers allows users to tailor every smoke to their liking. Kits like Smoke Proper’s Rolling Kit also include stickers, postcards, and tweezers, adding personal flair and functionality to the smoking experience.

Grinders, Trays, and Papers: Tools for a Premium Experience

A smoking kit’s effectiveness often boils down to the quality of its components. Smoke Proper's Smoke Proper Grinder, made in collaboration with Phoenician Grinders from Phoenix, AZ, offers a top-tier solution. These grinders are crafted from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, ensuring a scratch-resistant finish that won’t flake into the product.

Another essential accessory is the Smokebreak Rolling Tray, a medium-sized tray that offers convenience whether you’re rolling at home or during a getaway. Its metal construction ensures durability, while the custom artwork adds a touch of style. Together, grinders and trays form the backbone of a premium kit, delivering the tools needed for a consistent and enjoyable smoke.

When looking for comprehensive smoking kits, it's crucial to choose trusted providers that deliver on both quality and variety. Smoke Proper Rolling Accessories stands out as a top provider, offering a wide range of kits, grinders, trays, and more. Their focus on high-quality materials, customization, and thoughtful design makes them a reliable choice for both beginners and experienced smokers alike.

With products like the RAW Kingsize Classic Rolls, users also get the benefit of natural, unrefined rolling papers made from hemp, perfect for those seeking an authentic and eco-friendly smoking option.

Conclusion

The shift from simple rolling papers to comprehensive smoking kits reflects the changing needs of today’s smokers. With an increasing focus on convenience, customization, and products for joint preparation, these kits offer more than just tools—they deliver a complete experience. Providers like Smoke Proper are leading the way with thoughtfully curated kits that cater to every aspect of the process, from grinding to rolling and roasting. As smoking becomes more of an art form, having the right accessories is essential for ensuring the best possible experience.

Selecting the Perfect Compostable Packaging for Your Cannabis Products

The cannabis industry faces a significant challenge: waste. With many single-use products and strict packaging regulations requiring tamper-resistant and childproof designs, the industry is often criticized for its environmental impact. These requirements, combined with the need for packaging that ensures product freshness, have resulted in large amounts of disposable waste, raising concerns among environmental advocates.

However, there's good news. Compostable cannabis packaging offers a sustainable alternative that meets regulatory standards, maintains product quality, and supports environmental responsibility—all without breaking the bank. Let’s explore the best compostable packaging options and their benefits to help you make the right choice for your cannabis products.

Popular Compostable Cannabis Packaging Options

Compostable packaging is made from materials that decompose naturally, unlike conventional plastic packaging that can linger in landfills for decades. Here are some top choices:

1. PLA and PHA Bioplastics

Bioplastics, derived from renewable resources, are both compostable and biodegradable, making them ideal for sustainable cannabis packaging.

PLA (Polylactic Acid): Made from renewable resources like corn starch, sugarcane, or cassava, PLA is created through a polymerization process that produces versatile packaging options in various colors and finishes.

PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoate): Naturally produced by bacteria during the fermentation of sugars and lipids, PHA is a durable, biodegradable polymer. It’s perfect for packaging like tubes and containers.

At The Packaging Tree, we specialize in bioplastic solutions such as PHA for containers and PLA for flexible packaging like pouches. Contact us for free samples to explore these sustainable options for your cannabis brand.

2. Hemp-Based Materials

Hemp is a strong, renewable resource that’s both compostable and biodegradable. It’s increasingly used in cannabis packaging, including boxes, folding cartons, tags, inserts, and more.

As the availability of hemp grows, the potential for its use in cannabis packaging expands. Hemp paper, for example, offers endless customization possibilities, including offset printing, embossing, debossing, and even full-color printing, making it a versatile and eco-friendly choice.

3. Mushroom-Based Materials

Mushroom-based packaging, derived from mycelium (the root-like structure of mushrooms), is a groundbreaking innovation in sustainable packaging. Mycelium grows around agricultural waste like corn stalks or hemp hurds, binding them into solid, lightweight, and compostable packaging materials.

These materials are strong, biodegradable, and moldable, making them a unique substitute for plastic or Styrofoam. For cannabis brands looking to create innovative, eco-friendly designs, mushroom-based materials are a fantastic option.

Benefits of Compostable Packaging for Cannabis Products

Switching to compostable cannabis packaging offers a host of benefits:

1. Reduced Environmental Impact

Compostable materials break down naturally, avoiding the long-term pollution caused by traditional plastics. By using renewable resources, this packaging minimizes the ecological footprint of your products.

2. Meet Consumer Demand for Sustainability

Today’s consumers are increasingly drawn to environmentally responsible brands. Offering products in compostable packaging can help you attract eco-conscious customers and build loyalty within this growing demographic.

3. Compliance with Regulations

Many cannabis regulations now emphasize reducing environmental impact. Compostable packaging ensures compliance while demonstrating your brand’s commitment to sustainability.

4. Enhanced Brand Reputation

Sustainability is more than a trend; it’s a key factor in brand perception. By investing in eco-friendly packaging, your brand can stand out as an industry leader committed to reducing waste and promoting environmental stewardship.

Challenges of Compostable Cannabis Packaging

While the benefits are substantial, it’s important to consider potential challenges:

1. Higher Costs

Compostable packaging can be more expensive than traditional options. However, growing demand and advancements in production are driving prices down, making these materials more accessible over time.

2. Limited Composting Facilities

Many areas still lack industrial composting facilities, making proper disposal challenging. Nevertheless, adopting compostable packaging now positions your brand as forward-thinking and prepared for future sustainability trends.

3. Compatibility Concerns

Not all products are compatible with compostable materials. Partnering with an experienced packaging provider like The Packaging Tree ensures you’ll find the right solutions to maintain product quality and freshness.

4. Consumer Awareness

Educating consumers on proper composting practices is essential. Without proper disposal, compostable packaging may not fully decompose, potentially diminishing its environmental benefits.

Choosing Compostable Cannabis Packaging with The Packaging Tree

Compostable cannabis packaging is a smart, sustainable choice for your products. It supports your brand’s environmental goals, appeals to eco-conscious consumers, and positions your business as an innovative leader in the cannabis industry.

At ThePackagingTree, we offer a wide range of compostable packaging solutions tailored to your brand’s needs. From bioplastics to hemp and mushroom-based materials, we’re here to help you find the perfect packaging to meet regulatory standards and delight your customers.

Eco-Friendly Merchandise: How to Make Your Artist Store Sustainable

As the world becomes increasingly aware of environmental issues, more consumers are looking for ways to make sustainable choices in their everyday lives. For artists, this presents an opportunity to not only meet the demand for eco-friendly products but also to align your brand with the values of sustainability and environmental responsibility. Creating an eco-friendly merchandise store is not only good for the planet, but it can also set you apart in the crowded music industry, attracting conscious consumers who want to support artists making a positive impact. This article will guide you through the steps to make your artist merchandise store sustainable, from sourcing materials to packaging and marketing.

Sourcing Sustainable Materials

The first step in creating an eco-friendly merchandise store is sourcing materials that have a minimal impact on the environment. This involves choosing sustainable, ethically-produced, and durable materials that align with your brand values.

Organic Cotton: Organic cotton is a popular choice for eco-friendly apparel. Unlike conventional cotton, organic cotton is grown without the use of harmful pesticides and chemicals, which means it's better for both the environment and the farmers who produce it. When sourcing organic cotton, look for certifications like GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) to ensure that the materials meet high environmental and ethical standards.

Recycled Materials: Another great option is to use recycled materials for your merchandise. This could include recycled polyester made from plastic bottles or reclaimed fabrics that would otherwise go to waste. Recycled materials help reduce the demand for new resources and minimize waste.

Sustainable Fabrics: In addition to organic cotton and recycled materials, consider using sustainable fabrics like hemp, bamboo, or Tencel. These materials are not only environmentally friendly but also durable and comfortable, making them ideal for clothing and accessories.

Eco-Friendly Inks: The printing process is also important when it comes to sustainability. Choose water-based inks or other eco-friendly printing methods that don’t involve harmful chemicals. This ensures that your products are safe for both the environment and your customers.

Eco-Friendly Packaging

Packaging is often overlooked, but it plays a crucial role in the sustainability of your merchandise store. Eco-friendly packaging can significantly reduce the environmental impact of your products.

Biodegradable Packaging: Consider using biodegradable packaging materials that break down naturally without harming the environment. This includes options like cardboard, paper, and plant-based plastics that can decompose in a composting environment.

Recycled Packaging: Use packaging made from recycled materials to further reduce waste. Recycled cardboard boxes, paper envelopes, and other materials can be just as effective as new packaging but with a much lower environmental footprint.

Minimalist Packaging: Another approach is to use minimalist packaging that reduces the amount of material used. For example, instead of using multiple layers of packaging, opt for a single, sturdy box or envelope that can protect the product while minimizing waste.

Reusable Packaging: Consider offering reusable packaging options, such as cloth bags or sturdy boxes that customers can use for other purposes after receiving their merchandise. This not only reduces waste but also adds value for your customers, making them more likely to reuse the packaging and remember your brand.

Sustainable Printing and Production Methods

The way your merchandise is produced can have a significant impact on its sustainability. By choosing eco-friendly printing and production methods, you can further reduce your environmental footprint.

Water-Based Inks: As mentioned earlier, water-based inks are a great alternative to traditional inks, which often contain harmful chemicals. Water-based inks are less toxic and easier to clean up, reducing the environmental impact of the printing process.

Direct-to-Garment Printing: Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing is a more sustainable option compared to screen printing, as it uses less ink and produces less waste. DTG printing allows for high-quality, detailed designs with minimal environmental impact.

On-Demand Production: Consider using an on-demand production model, where products are only made after an order is placed. This approach eliminates the need for large inventories and reduces the risk of unsold merchandise going to waste. On-demand production can also lower energy and resource consumption, making it a more sustainable option.

Ethical Manufacturing: Ensure that the manufacturers you work with adhere to ethical labor practices and environmental standards. This includes fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmentally responsible production processes. Working with ethical manufacturers not only aligns with sustainable values but also supports social responsibility.

Green Marketing: Promoting Your Eco-Friendly Merchandise

Once your eco-friendly merchandise is ready, it’s time to promote it in a way that aligns with your sustainable values. Green marketing involves communicating the environmental benefits of your products and encouraging customers to make sustainable choices.

Highlighting Sustainability: Make sure to highlight the eco-friendly aspects of your merchandise in your marketing materials. This could include information about the sustainable materials used, the environmental impact of the production process, and any certifications your products have earned. Transparency is key, so be clear and honest about the sustainability of your products.

Educating Your Audience: Use your platform to educate your audience about the importance of sustainability and how your products contribute to a greener future. Share blog posts, social media content, and videos that explain the environmental benefits of your merchandise and how they align with your brand’s mission.

Eco-Friendly Campaigns: Consider launching eco-friendly campaigns to promote your merchandise. This could include special discounts on sustainable products, collaborations with environmental organizations, or limited-edition releases that support a cause. These campaigns can help raise awareness about sustainability while also driving sales.

Green Partnerships: Partnering with eco-friendly brands or organizations can also enhance your sustainability efforts. For example, you could collaborate with a company that plants trees for every purchase made in your store or donate a portion of your profits to an environmental cause. These partnerships can boost your brand’s credibility and attract environmentally conscious consumers.

Carbon Offsetting: Balancing Your Environmental Impact

Even with all these sustainable practices, there will still be some environmental impact from your merchandise store. Carbon offsetting is a way to balance out that impact by investing in projects that reduce carbon emissions elsewhere.

Investing in Carbon Offset Projects: Carbon offset projects typically involve activities like reforestation, renewable energy development, or energy efficiency improvements. By investing in these projects, you can offset the carbon emissions generated by your merchandise production, shipping, and other activities.

Calculating Your Carbon Footprint: To effectively offset your carbon emissions, you’ll need to calculate your carbon footprint. There are various tools and services available that can help you estimate the emissions associated with your merchandise store. Once you have an estimate, you can purchase carbon offsets to neutralize your impact.

Communicating Your Efforts: Make sure to communicate your carbon offsetting efforts to your customers. This not only demonstrates your commitment to sustainability but also encourages others to make environmentally responsible choices. You could include information about your carbon offset projects on your website, in product descriptions, or in marketing materials.

Engaging with Your Community

Building a sustainable brand is not just about the products you sell; it’s also about engaging with your community and inspiring others to make eco-friendly choices.

Sustainability Challenges: Consider launching sustainability challenges for your fans, such as encouraging them to reduce their carbon footprint, recycle, or use eco-friendly products. You can create social media campaigns around these challenges, with incentives like discounts or giveaways for those who participate.

Community Involvement: Get involved with local environmental initiatives or events. This could include participating in clean-up efforts, hosting workshops on sustainability, or partnering with local businesses to promote eco-friendly practices. Community involvement not only strengthens your brand’s sustainability efforts but also fosters a sense of connection with your audience.

Fan Feedback: Engage with your fans by asking for their feedback on your sustainability efforts. This could include surveys, social media polls, or direct communication through your website or email list. Listening to your fans can help you improve your eco-friendly practices and show that you value their input.

Conclusion

Making your artist merchandise store sustainable is not only a responsible choice for the environment but also a smart business decision. By sourcing sustainable materials, using eco-friendly packaging, choosing ethical production methods, and promoting your products through green marketing, you can create a merchandise store that aligns with your brand values and resonates with environmentally conscious consumers. Carbon offsetting and community engagement further enhance your sustainability efforts, helping you build a brand that stands out in the crowded music industry.
