We use 100% recyclable cardboard and nestle products in 100% compostable wood curls and paper ribbon from biodegradable cotton. The wood curls can stoke fires or mulch gardens, while birds can use the ribbon for nests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-made-by-a-local-community\">Made by a Local Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hauskaa is a small, woman-owned Vermont business focused on hiring locally and contributing to Northern Vermont&#8217;s economic vitality.
