Return to Earth Boulder

In summer 2021, we pioneered sustainability in the TCG accessories industry with the RTE Boulder 100+. This high-quality, durable deck box is made from 97% fully renewable resources (87% for the RTE Boulder 133+), is recyclable, and is produced entirely using green energy. From design to production, everything takes place in Germany, with key materials sourced from forests in Bavaria and the local Black Forest. No animal-derived materials, plasticizers, or melamine are used in the production of these boxes.

IT’S TIME TO CHANGE!

By purchasing this deck box, you directly support global reforestation. Since the launch of the RTE Boulder 100+, we’ve partnered with OneTreePlanted to plant four trees every day.

The material used for our RTE Boulder is a by-product of paper manufacturing, with the primary raw material being wood from local Black Forest sources. The RTE Boulder is also 100% vegan—no animal products are used during production.

Our RTE Boulder is not biodegradable or compostable under home or industrial conditions. However, it is 100% recyclable when properly disposed of. 

Production of the RTE Boulder takes place exclusively in Germany, specifically in the Southern Palatinate region. From there, all Return to Earth products are distributed to our other locations. Production follows German Fairtrade standards. More information here: Fairtrade Deutschland.

Small variations can occur during processing of the natural materials and do not affect the functionality of the product. Just like nature itself, each RTE Boulder is unique in appearance and composition—making your product a one-of-a-kind addition to your collection!

For the Coral Places Sidewinder, we’ve also broken new ground by creating a sustainable version of our popular Xenoskin surface for the first time. Both versions of the deck box (100+ and 133+) are made from 52% recycled materials. And the commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop there: the Coral Places Sidewinder packaging is entirely plastic-free, using cellulose-based film and 100% recycled paper printed with eco-friendly soy ink.
