Smoking can be more conscious. This is not a vision of the future; it’s happening today. With eco-friendly smoking accessories, you take a step towards a more sustainable world without compromising on quality or style. At Greengo, we believe that small choices make a big impact. In this blog, we explain why conscious accessories are essential for your smoking experience and for the planet.
The Challenge: The Impact of Conventional Accessories
The smoking industry has an undeniable impact on the environment. Think of plastic grinders that are not biodegradable, disposable lighters that contribute to long-term waste, and bleached rolling papers that leave behind chemical residues. Every product you use has an ecological footprint.
Greengo offers an alternative. We believe that smoking should be pure – free from harmful chemicals and with respect for nature.
The Solution: Eco-Friendly Materials
At Greengo, we combine functionality with sustainability. Our accessories are made from natural and renewable materials such as:
- Hemp: The versatile powerhouse. From organic rolling papers to filter tips, hemp provides an ecological and pure alternative.
- Bamboo: Strong, elegant, and sustainable. Ideal for rolling trays and pipes.
- Metal: Reusable grinders that last long and replace plastic.
By choosing these materials, you’re not only making a conscious decision but also enhancing your smoking experience.
What Are the Benefits?
Better for the Planet:
Accessories made from natural materials are biodegradable or reusable, reducing environmental impact.
Purer for You:
Unbleached rolling papers and natural gum provide a smoking experience without a chemical aftertaste. What you taste is pure – just as it should be.
Longer Lifespan:
Reusable accessories, such as metal grinders or bamboo trays, last for years. This not only reduces waste but also saves you money.
Your Conscious Lifestyle:
Using eco-friendly products shows that you care about sustainability. Your smoking session becomes a conscious choice rather than just a routine.
How do you know smoking accessories are eco-friendly?
Check the packaging—there are often icons that indicate whether a product is eco-friendly. At Greengo, you’ll find several of these. But what do these symbols actually mean?
FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council. It is an international organization dedicated to responsible forest management worldwide. Products with an FSC certification are made from wood or paper sourced from sustainably managed forests and controlled sources. This ensures that forests are not depleted, biodiversity is protected, and the rights of indigenous peoples and forest workers are respected.
There are three main types of FSC certifications:
FSC Mix → A combination of FSC-certified wood, recycled material, and controlled wood.
FSC Recycled → Made from 100% recycled material.
FSC 100% → The product comes entirely from FSC-certified forests.
Biodegradable filters are a more sustainable alternative to traditional cigarette filters, which are often made of cellulose acetate (plastic) and take decades to break down. Biodegradable filters, made from paper, hemp, cotton, or activated charcoal, decompose much faster, usually within a few months to a few years.
Key Differences:
- Plastic filters → Polluting, decompose slowly (10+ years), cause microplastic pollution.
- Biodegradable filters → Natural, break down faster, less harmful to the environment.
Benefits of Biodegradable Filters:
Fast decomposition – Prevents long-term pollution.
Lower environmental impact – No microplastic contamination.
Cleaner smoking experience – No harmful chemical additives.
Smoking products that are 100% unbleached contain no chemical bleaching agents like chlorine or oxygen compounds, which are often used to whiten paper. This means they retain their natural brown or beige color and are less processed than bleached alternatives.
Benefits of 100% Unbleached Smoking Products:
Purer smoking experience – No chemical residues affecting taste.
Better for the environment – Fewer chemical processes during production, reducing water and soil pollution.
More sustainable – Often made from natural or recycled fibers, minimizing impact on forests and ecosystems.
Many eco-friendly brands, such as Greengo, offer unprocessed rolling papers and filter tips that are 100% unbleached. This is a conscious choice for smokers who value both quality and sustainability.
