OUR PRODUCTS
Products
Glass
Glass is 100% recyclable. This means that they can be infinitely recycled into new packaging without loss of quality. It is also very easy to repurpose a glass container!
Silicone
Silicone is an eco-friendly material made from sand. Manufacturing silicone is much less wasteful than manufacturing plastic. It can be recycled (in the right facilities) and is a safe non-toxic alternative to plastic.
Metal
Metal, as well as being 100% recyclable, it is also an incredibly durable material for products. It can last hundreds of years if necessary. It is also very easy to repurpose metal containers and tins.
Compostable/biodegradable paperboard
Paperboard is made from recycled paper pulp. When manufactured and disposed of properly, it is largely considered a renewable resource.
Bamboo
Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world, making it the number one renewable resource. Bamboo actually grows faster when it is cut down!
Recycled plastic
Plastic can be repurposed into new packaging and products. While this is not ideal (in terms of a renewable resource or degradation in landfill), it is better than other alternatives.

Meet our founder.
Squidsy & Co Importing was founded by Laura Norton. Laura began her career as a medical research scientist, and has a PhD in Molecular Genetics and Biochemistry. After seeing how much waste was created in science, she
decided to leave this job in search of something more fulfilling. Three years ago, she had an idea to help change the world through designing, sourcing and importing sustainable and eco-friendly products. It is her ultimate goal to help reduce our reliance on plastic by providing high-quality and stylish alternatives.
