The lipstick container is made from common alder and aspen. The lipstick mechanism is made from biodegradable PLA (polylactide). The lipstick container can be disposed of as biowaste after use. The outer packaging and mail-order parcel are paperboard waste. 

PLA, i.e. polylactide, is a biodegradable, biobased polymer – in other words, a plastic. It is manufactured from corn starch and decomposes in industrial composts. Hence, the housing association’s biowaste container is the right place to discard it. PLA does not endure high temperatures due to its biodegradability and it melts in over 45 degrees’ temperature. So please keep your lipstick out of too much direct sunlight! 

HAVU lipsticks are 100% biodegradable, which is like the best thing ever, but it’s important to recycle them right. It’s an easy and small thing for you to do and afterwards, nature will love you! 

You can sort HAVU lipstick or lip care containers after use into biowaste. The paper sticker at the bottom of the container can be placed into paper waste. The cardboard package and the mailing board are recycled as cardboard waste. Please do not dispose of HAVU products in nature! We do not support littering! The package does not decompose in nature, as the containers are industrially biodegradable. The right place for it is the housing association’s biowaste container.
