If you removed a lip balm cap sticker what would you do with it? (And let's assume you didn't know it was compostable, because it's hard to make it obvious that it is).
- put it in the garbage?
- put in in your commercial compost bin (and do you even have access to a commercial compost bin because you can't compost these in your backyard)?
- If you were us would you?
- buy the cheaper plastic stickers?
- buy the compostable plastic stickers (note: paper stickers usually have plastic reinforcements)
- Stop stickering altogether, because what's the likelihood that someone will 'tamper' with the lip balm while it's being shipped from us to you?

“No sticker” from me too! I do have access to curbside composting so I can compost the little sticker and I have a compost system in yard. I think the cap stays on fine too like others said.
I’m all for not using stickers at all. If you do, they definitely should at least be commercially compostable. I have a Lomi composter, which has a commercial composting cycle so I would run it with other commercially compostable things.
I say go stickerless. I think it’s EXTREMELY unlikely that they’d ever be tampered with.
I’m a bit suspicious of commercially compostable plastic. Can plastic ever be really compostable, or does it just break down into micro plastics?
As for the first question, whenever I pull a sticker off of anything, I put it in the garbage. I don’t want to ruin a batch of recycling but leaving something in that will spoil the whole batch.
I don’t see why a sticker is needed. The caps stay on well it seems to me, and as you say, they’re shipped directly from you to me.
I would throw it in the trash not knowing it was compostable and not having access to commercial compost anyway. I would stop stickering altogether. Those stickers always tend to leave sticky residue anyway and I think lip balm tampering would be very obvious since the new surface is perfectly smooth.
JUST DONT USE ANY STICKERS! No one cares abt the stickers, we just throw it out. As long as they are not tampered with who cares! Save the money save the planet!

I would definitely stop stickering them altogether!! I love that you guys are asking for input. I hate dealing with little plastic bits like this, and would be so happy to start seeing more products without it at all.
I vote for the stop stickering altogether option. If it’s not necessary, then eliminate it.
Stop using stickers altogether gets my vote. If you can’t, use the cheaper plastic ones instead bc the majority of people probably can’t access a commercial compost system. A big part of going green is doing what’s realistic sometimes.
