The Cannabis Packaging Collective
Together, we can lighten the footprint of cannabis.
The cannabis industry creates a lot of single-use packaging, but some lower-waste habits are already possible.
​
The Cannabis Packaging Collective is currently focused on helping customers and businesses understand, test, and grow practical reuse options, starting with clean jar refills at deli-style flower shops and exit bag reuse.
​
Explore this page to find reuse-friendly shops, learn what to ask for, and subscribe for future updates as the Collective gathers more examples, feedback, and resources.
​
Thank you for helping lighten the footprint of cannabis in Montana and beyond!
Find Reuse-Friendly Cannabis Shops
Want to reduce cannabis packaging waste right now? Start by asking what reuse options are available near you.
​
Some Montana dispensaries serve flower deli-style, which may allow customers to bring or refill a clean jar. Other shops encourage customers to bring back clean exit bags so single-use bags stay in circulation longer.
​
Policies and incentives can change, so we recommend calling ahead or asking your budtender:
-
Do you offer deli-style flower?
-
Can customers bring a clean jar for refill?
-
Do you accept clean exit bags for reuse?
-
Are there any current discounts, rewards, or loyalty points for reusing packaging?
