Closed-Loop Cannabis Packaging

ReStalk Turns Cannabis Waste into Pulp and Packaging

— February 12, 2020 — Eco
The ReStalk Recycled Cannabis packaging takes the form of a folding boxboard that's made from cannabis waste. ReStalk repurposes agricultural waste byproducts and is helping to give new life to materials that usually go to waste—often, this means that waste is left to rot, sent to burn or taken to the landfill.

By transforming cannabis waste into pulp and packaging, ReStalk is disrupting this wasteful cycle with a new closed-loop solution that helps to limit use of virgin trees and divert organic waste from landfills. This is especially significant as states like California are working towards reducing half of the level of the statewide disposal of organic waste from the 2014 level by 2020 and 75% by 2025.
