If you’ve ever picked up one of those off-the-shelf plastic inhalers, you’ve probably noticed two things: they’re handy in the moment... and straight in the bin when you’re done. That didn’t sit right with us.
Here’s why we swapped single-use plastic for something that actually lasts — and why your nose (and the planet) will thank you.
The Problem with Disposable Inhalers
Most traditional inhalers are made of low-grade plastic that’s tough to recycle and not designed to be refilled. They’re inexpensive to manufacture and even cheaper to discard, which adds up to millions of plastic tubes ending up in landfills every year.1
Even if you wanted to reuse them, the design doesn’t support it. The wick is stuck inside. The plastic often warps or wears down. You get the picture.
Our Aluminium Upgrade
We chose aluminium for a reason: it’s durable, endlessly recyclable, and feels better in your hand. Unlike plastic, aluminium doesn’t absorb oils over time, meaning your blends stay purer and fresher.
Plus, our inhalers are made to be refilled, not replaced. Just swap out the wick, top up your blend, and you’re good to go.
It’s Not Just About Looks
Sure, our inhalers look good. But more than that, they’re part of a small shift toward more conscious consumption. Less waste. Less clutter. A tool that’s actually worth keeping.
If you’re ready to break up with plastic (and breathe a little easier while you’re at it), we’ve got you.
