Wind Energy Powers Sustainable CR Cannabis Vape Packs by Brand Oregrown

In general, cannabis brands have not been able to venture as deeply into sustainable packaging as their traditional brand-owner peers due to specific industry hurdles.

A square carton for extracts, and rectangular carton for 510 cartridges, each use soft-touch finish and debossing for a tactile feel.
A square carton for extracts, and rectangular carton for 510 cartridges, each use soft-touch finish and debossing for a tactile feel.

Regulatory requirements select for a robust, secure, child-resistant (CR) package, and state-dependent rules around product leaving dispensaries, package opaqueness, etc., have tended to lean toward overpackaging out of an abundance of caution, and reliance on often multi-material plastics for functional or CR purposes.

But as the industry matures, that’s changing. One example is Oregrown Industries, a vertically integrated Oregon cannabis grower, processer, packager, and brand owner that’s keeping the robustness and CR, but adding sustainable packaging measures in clever ways. The packaging in question here centers around the company’s cannabis extracts and its vape offerings in what are called Pax Era Pods and Oregrown 510 Cartridges.
