Less is More
Narrow it down to the essentials and make those ethically sourced and eco-friendly

How can it be reused, repurposed, recycled or composted?
Can it remain in a circular economy?
What can be done to make it a better candidate for recycling or composting?
Add instructions for the end-user w/ recycling symbols.
