Traditional Medicinals

Plastic-free focus Specs clearly published traditionalmedicinals.com ↗

The bag is abaca (manila hemp) plus FSC-certified wood pulp, formed into a double-chamber shape whose fold holds it shut - which is how Traditional Medicinals avoids the chemical/thermoplastic sealant used in cheap "pillow" bags. The string is organic, Non-GMO-verified cotton and the tag is FSC paper; the closure is either a cotton knot or a small aluminum staple (metal, at the top of the bag, not plastic in the steep path).

The company states plainly that its bags are non-heat-sealed and contain no plastic, and it is transitioning its outer wrappers to a BPI-certified compostable film.

How clear are their specs?

FAQ and blog spell out the bag fiber, non-heat-sealed construction, cotton string, and staple/knot closure, and state the bags contain no plastic.
