Why Tins?

At Emerald Visions, we are committed to minimizing our carbon footprint, even as indoor cultivators. We employ energy-efficient LED lighting and advanced climate control systems to reduce electricity consumption. Additionally, we closely monitor our water usage to ensure efficient consumption and are actively working towards implementing closed-loop watering systems to further conserve resources. Our packaging choice of 100% plastic free, recyclable, child-resistant tins from Tin Canna further reflects our dedication to sustainability. Through these practices, we aim to produce high-quality cannabis while minimizing our environmental impact.  Read on to learn more about our choice for packaging.

1. Enhanced Child Safety

Ensuring our products are inaccessible to children is paramount. Tin Canna’s patented locking mechanism is ASTM certified, offering a robust solution against accidental access.

2. Superior Product Preservation

Our choice of Tin Canna packaging ensures that our cannabis products are well-protected from environmental factors that can compromise their quality. The tins opaque design effectively shields the contents from light exposure, particularly harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can degrade cannabinoids like THC and CBD, leading to reduced potency over time. Additionally, the durable construction of the tins safeguards the product from physical damage during handling and transportation, ensuring that our customers receive cannabis in optimal condition. By utilizing these protective features, and including a humidity control pack in every tin, we strive to maintain the integrity, potency, and freshness of our cannabis products from packaging to consumption.

3. Durability and Portability

Tins are less prone to breakage compared to glass, reducing the risk of product loss and safety hazards. Their lightweight nature makes them more convenient for transportation and handling, both for retailers and consumers.

4. Environmental Considerations

We are mindful of our environmental footprint and have chosen to use Tin Canna’s child-resistant tins for our packaging. These tins are made from FDA-certified food-grade tin, ensuring they are 100% recyclable and contain no plastic components. This aligns with our commitment to sustainability, as these tins can be easily recycled in any blue bin or curbside program.

In contrast, recycling glass presents several challenges. Glass is prone to breaking during collection and processing, which can lead to contamination of other recyclables and complicate the sorting process. Additionally, the weight of glass increases transportation costs and energy consumption. Due to these factors, a significant portion of glass ends up in landfills instead of being recycled. 

By opting for tin packaging, we aim to reduce these environmental challenges and promote a more sustainable lifecycle for our products.

At Emerald Visions, our commitment to quality and safety guides every decision we make. Our choice to use Tin Canna’s child-resistant tins reflects our dedication to delivering high-quality products to our customers. While this packaging solution is relatively new, we believe it represents the future of sustainable packaging, and we are excited to lead the way in adopting such innovations.
