Silly Nice, a black- and veteran-owned cannabis company, has partnered with Sana Packaging, a Colorado-based provider of sustainable, circular packaging, to fight off cost increases related to tariffs and supply chain restraints
The company has now shifted away from international suppliers toward reclaimed ocean plastic lids, 100% recycled glass jars, and renewable hemp-based boxes. It said that more than 694 pounds of ocean-bound plastic have already been recovered and repurposed into Silly Nice packaging.
The shift has proven not just sustainable, but strategic. With shorter lead times, predictable costs, and no freight containers stuck in customs, Silly Nice has improved fulfillment, reduced inventory stress, and reclaimed pricing power.
The partnership comes after Sana earlier this year announced a price reduction of up to 15% for its core Made in the USA products.
"Now more than ever, cannabis businesses need affordable, sustainable packaging without sacrificing quality," said Ron Basak-Smith, CEO of Sana Packaging. "Our price reduction makes it easier for our customers to prioritize eco-friendly choices while managing costs. At Sana Packaging, innovation and sustainability go hand in hand. By adjusting our pricing, we reaffirm our commitment to offering high-quality, environmentally responsible packaging that meets the evolving needs of our customers."
