There is zero plastic in the Santa Cruz Shredder hemp grinders. Santa Cruz Shredder uses all-natural hemp with a hemp-based binder, so you can feel good about throwing it in household garbage when he time comes (it won't be for a while, don't worry!). The grinder itself is 100% biodegradable and is extremely durable. After nearly a year of hard labour, Santa Cruz Shredder's test models did not show any sign of slowing down. Designed to give you a consistent fluffy grind that Santa Cruz Shredder is known for.
