There is a strong movement taking hold to reduce the impact of packaging materials on the environment. Not only must trees be cut down and environmental damaging emissions produced during production of some packaging materials, but we have to deal with all those empty plastic clam packs and cardboard boxes that are left over after we remove the goodies from inside.

Pangea Organics, a line of organic cosmetics, has taken a novel approach to the problem and attacked it from both ends of the spectrum. Not only have they attempted to reduce the impact of packaging on the environment at the production end, but they have created a package that actually returns something positive to the environment. You might call it "packaging that grows on you." Read the article here that spells out what they have done.
