How can I dispose of the bags?
FAQ-Beitrag
Optimally: in your own compost! Within 180 days, the bags decompose completely.
If you don’t have compost, you can also dispose of them in the trash. Here you can see what happens to your bag:
- In the organic waste garbage can, the bag is composted if it is correctly identified by the disposal company. If not, it is burned or goes to a landfill.
- In the recycling garbage can, the bag is sorted out and incinerated.
- The bag is also incinerated in the residual waste.
- In nature, the bag is composted and a source of food for organisms. Important: Please do not dispose of bags in the environment!

The name should be program. Because we want to provide you with truly good and honest sustainable products – without compromise.
We are so serious about this promise that we have given ourselves the appropriate name. We are True Tea!
Good question! We firmly believe in the credo: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Therefore, we currently offer two packages:
Cardboard cans
The chic tins are handmade and are made of cardboard. The core of the sleeve is made of recycled paper. After use, you can refill them or simply dispose of them in the paper trash. The cans are of course food safe and plastic free.
The cans are made of only one material (paper). Thus, recycling is particularly easy. The use of already recycled paper in the cans also reduces the environmental footprint. A round thing, we think.
Reclosable bags
We rely on garden compostable and 100% plastic-free bags. And they are honestly good! These high quality bags are made in the EU and become compost after 180 days. This has also been confirmed by the TÜV. And the bags are also practical to reseal. The bags are made of cellulose, paper and starch.
We fill our shipping boxes only with paper material or floppies made of corn starch. Both can be recycled and are 100% plastic free.
And what about our tea accessories? Well, here, unfortunately, possibly (recyclable) plastic is used in the packaging, so that these arrive safely at your home. Unfortunately, this cannot be done any other way at present. As part of our transparency, we show you exactly how each item is packaged on the product pages.
We pay attention to sustainability in all steps and especially the elimination of plastic wherever possible. Not everywhere we have reached where we would like to go. But be sure: we will continue to do our best to further improve the packaging materials.
We usually ship your goods within 48 hours, provided that all items are available.
If this is not the case, we will contact you to clarify the further procedure.
The components of the blends as well as the teas themselves come from different countries. Regular on-site visits of our pre-supplier as well as the long-standing cooperation with plantations allow highest quality standards and ensure highest quality as well as environmentally and socially compatible cultivation. Of course, quality is also regularly checked in laboratory tests and by on-site audits. After all, trust is good, but control is better!
Yes! This has even been confirmed by the TÜV. The bags decompose in a natural environment within 180 days. And completely without pollutants. Super, isn’t it?

For some articles you will find a note that the packaging contains a certain amount of plastic. We want to be absolutely honest and have therefore added this clear note:
But what is it all about? First of all, this plastic packaging does not come from us. True Tea will never add its own plastic packaging. If you see this notice, it means that the packaging from our supplier contains plastic.
This can be for various reasons, for example to protect the surface of the product or to prevent breakage. We are in constant contact with our suppliers in order to constantly reduce the proportion of plastic or even replace it completely with alternative materials.
We draw your attention to this fact with the notice shown above. We hope that this information will help you with your product selection.
The bags are made of kraft paper, cellulose film, starch film and starch zipper. 100% Plastic Free & 100% Pollutant Free.
