A BRIGHTER PACKAGING FUTURE – WASTE REDUCTION
ACCELERATED PLASTIC DEGRADATION
As we think about sustainable packaging, it’s difficult to find a solution that ticks off all the boxes. There are a variety of packaging materials available for CPG businesses to retail their goods in, but what makes our Blue Toad packaging stand out?
Accelerated Degradation. Less than four years after entering an anaerobic landfill, Blue Toad containers are over 85% broken down. How do we achieve accelerated degradation? Our plastic containers (made by Calyx) have an organic additive that attracts microbes that eat the material—meaning it starts degrading as soon as it enters a biologically active landfill. This process does not produce microplastics like oxo- or photo-degradable plastics do.

Microdosing 101
Microdosing is quickly becoming a mainstream phenomenon. Self-administration of low doses of psychedelic drugs (Psilocybin, DMT, MDMA, LSD) to improve mental health and wellbeing and enhance cognitive function is known as microdosing. It’s important to note, however, that many other substances can be used this way. A microdose is typically 1/10 to 1/20 of a normal dose of mushrooms, botanicals, cannabis, etc. At Blue Toad, we like to add key components to our microdose routine, like: Ashwagandha, B3/Niacin, Bacopa Monnieri, PEA (Phenethylamine), Cat’s Claw, Green Tea, Nutmeg, 5-HTP, Lion’s Mane, GABA, Hemp Cannabinoids, etc.
