Just as a love of the ocean is a natural part of our corporate philosophy, sustainability has always been a component of everything we do. Ultimately, we believe these two goals are inextricably linked. They affect everything ranging from our packaging to eco-efficiency, and our environmental commitment. Would you like to learn more? We are happy to share more about what is important to us with you.
Packaging
From our love of people, and our love of the ocean
There are products that require no packaging at all. Others need to be protected by just the right kind of packaging – like our sea salt. With these products, it is important to optimize packaging with recycling in mind, to help close the materials cycle. This requires developing materials that can be used again and again. Recyclable packaging has been part of our supply chain for many years, and helps to reduce waste.
Our sustainability targets including ensuring all of our packaging is recyclable or reusable. Currently, approximately 90 % of Aquasale sea salt packaging is made of a mono-material that is 100 % recyclable. Over 50 % of the packaging is made of cardboard produced from renewable raw materials, which is recyclable.
Our mission
For the good of future generations, we are taking on responsibility by using sustainable packaging solutions. In doing so, we are supporting and furthering the circular economy, without impacting product protection and product quality.
Our guiding principle
We use paper whenever possible, plastic whenever necessary, and glass when our brand philosophy requires it.

Plastic Bank
Aquasale is supporting the fight against poverty, and the fight against plastic in our world's oceans
When humanity first began to understand the interplay between water, wind, and sun, and discovered sea salt, no one knew that one day unimaginable quantities of plastic would be floating in the Earth's oceans. The changing tides are all part of the ocean's natural character – but a plastic tide is not! Whether ocean creatures confuse large pieces of plastic or microplastics with a food source doesn’t matter. The consequences are devastating.
did not end up in the sea during our cooperations dedicated work.
less plastic in the sea = 1 year partnership
We are taking on our ecological and social responsibility, and supporting Plastic Bank with an annual payment. The amount of plastic waste that can be exchanged for everyday essentials for this payment is three times the amount of plastic Aquasale uses in its packaging. That means a pinch of vacation feeling tastes twice as good.
Environmentally-friendly packaging strategies are key, as is supporting projects focused on protecting the ocean. Many global regions lack the infrastructure needed to collect and recycle plastics. What’s more, most of these countries are also characterized by great poverty. Because of this, projects focused on changing both of these realities are especially valuable. This is the idea behind Plastic Bank. This Canadian-based social enterprise is making plastic into a currency: It allows plastic waste to be collected and redeemed for everyday essentials in vulnerable regions. This relieves poverty and prevents even more plastic from getting into the world’s oceans,a win-win for both people and the environment.
