Si vous retiriez l'autocollant d'un bouchon de baume à lèvres, qu'en feriez-vous ? (Et supposons que vous ne sachiez pas qu'il est compostable, car il est difficile de le faire savoir clairement).
- Le jeter à la poubelle ?
- Vous pouvez les mettre dans votre bac à compost commercial (et avez-vous même accès à un bac à compost commercial, car vous ne pouvez pas composter ces déchets dans votre jardin) ?
- Si vous étiez à notre place, le feriez-vous ?
- Acheter les autocollants en plastique moins chers ?
- Achetez les autocollants en plastique compostable (remarque : les autocollants en papier sont généralement renforcés par du plastique).
- Arrêtez complètement d'apposer des autocollants, car quelle est la probabilité que quelqu'un « altère » le baume à lèvres pendant son transport de chez nous jusqu'à vous ?

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.
The best solution would be to stop stickering altogether, if it’s not required by law. The product is not likely to be tampered with during shipping, and it is usually quite easy to tell if the surface on the top of the lip balm has been swiped on anything.
Using the compostable stickers is preferable to using the plastic ones. However, as I mentioned in your post on Instagram, even in my city of Los Angeles, the supposed Mecca of eco-friendliness in the United States, our waste facilities don’t have the capabilities of composting anything that’s like a bio plastic. I sure hope it’s different in Toronto.
A couple of ways you could make it more obvious that the sticker is compostable is to put it somewhere in big print on the product page itself on your website. Also, if you pack any kind of paper invoice when you ship products to people, you could put it prominently somewhere there as well.
I do not think this little thing is good for anything when it comes to upcycling, at least not that I know of, so, if I didn’t know it was compostable I would put it in the trash, and I personally would have to put it in the trash anyway because it doesn’t belong in our green bins.
I still applaud you for making the effort to even find a compostable lip balm seal, and for spending the money on it. The intention is admirable.
