At Fresh Spirulina Farm, we prioritize quality and sustainability. That’s why we opt for glass jars as the packaging for our spirulina. Glass jars offer superior protection, keeping the spirulina fresh and uncontaminated. Moreover, by using glass jars instead of plastic or paper cartons, we contribute to environmental preservation by reducing the amount of waste ending up in landfills. We believe that a high-quality product deserves a high-quality package that aligns with our commitment to both product integrity and environmental consciousness.

At Fresh Spirulina Farm, we take responsibility for the glass jars we use and strive for maximum sustainability. We collect the glass jars from our customers and reuse them for as long as they remain in satisfactory condition. By participating in this process, you actively contribute to environmental conservation. Once the jars reach an unsatisfactory state, we return them to the glass factory where they are crushed and melted down to create new jars.

Before reuse, we ensure thorough cleaning of the jars to eliminate any residue or stains. To maintain hygiene standards, the jars undergo sterilization before being filled with fresh spirulina. We also conduct regular testing of spirulina batches to guarantee quality and adherence to our standards.
