If you’re like us, you feel a little sad when your cheerful tin of Retreats is empty, and it’s not only because you’re out of gummies.

Retreats packaging is sleek, durable & functional —so it’s a shame to throw it away, right?

We’ve got some good news for you…you can now rinse and reuse the same Retreats tin over and over, introducing Retreats Refill packs!

Waste is a major pain point for cannabis companies. Laws about tracking tags, labeling and child-proof packaging often require using plastic. Even in places where plastic is recyclable, the system is hard on our environment. We all know that the most sustainable packaging is the one you already own.

A familiar phrase by now, “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” outlines three tenets of a zero-waste lifestyle. Until now, Retreats has focused on “reuse” of our recycled aluminum tins. Our dedicated followers know Retreats tins have so many other uses: dog treats, paper clips, hair ties, craft supplies, candy, looseleaf tea, spices, medications or supplements… even a Christmas ornament

Now, you’ll enjoy refilling them with what they originally housed: our gourmet adult gummies, infused with in-house extractions, Willamette Valley Alchemy.

Refill bags reduce our waste by replacing a durable tin with a small, thin plastic bag that takes less energy to produce and transport, and is lighter on the planet.

What’s great about Retreats Refills

  • They’re available in every 10-pack recreational option: hybrid, indica, sativa, cbd and 1:1

  • You’ll save 10% off regular tins (a lower packaging cost for us means the savings are passed along to you)

  • There’s no need for an exit bag - tins are child-resistant and reusable

  • Feel good about what makes you feel good! Make use of your cute tins and divert waste from landfills, saving energy along the supply chain

Retreats Refills are for everyone…but they’re especially for you, if you:

  • Bring reusable bags and shop in the bulk department at the grocery store

  • Collect and return Paktech can holders or child-proof cannabis tube and bottle packaging to breweries and dispensaries

  • Use Re:stash jars to transport your cannabis flower

  • Own a reusable exit bag for trips to the dispensary

  • Own growlers and refill them with beer, cider or kombucha

  • Choose personal care products with less packaging, like soap and shampoo bars or toothpaste tablets

  • Buy concentrated liquid cleaning products and refill spray bottles

  • Reuse shipping materials like cardboard, bubble wrap and plastic bags

  • Use washable fabric cleaning cloths and napkins

  • Travel with your own reusable water bottle, drinking mug, straw, bowl or utensils

We are SO excited to launch Retreats Refills in a dispensary near you! We’ll update our Find Retreats page to share all the participating shops as they come on board. If your shop doesn’t offer Retreats Refills yet, please let them know you’re interested. Thank you for your support!
