Arizona company DIZPOT has been granted a patent in the U.S. for a child-resistant, biodegradable, paper tube for packaging cannabis. In a press release, the company said, “the product was created with the need to provide operators sustainable solutions with environmentally friendly materials and child-resistant technology.”  

In a statement, John Hartsell, co-founder of DIZPOT, said “Securing this patent is a testament to the creativity and technical expertise we foster at DIZPOT.” The company notes the product was conceived in 2022 and designed in-house by team members Charlie Dains and AJ Keller.    

“As the regulatory landscape evolves, we are committed to delivering cutting-edge products that not only meet the highest compliance standards but also reduce our industry’s environmental footprint. This paper tube is just the first in a line of many patented designs we plan to bring to the market.” — Hartsell in a statement   

According to a report from the Sustainable Cannabis Coalition, the U.S. cannabis industry used nearly 1 billion pieces of single-use plastic in 2020, much of which ended up in landfills. 

DIZPOT’s paper tube package is U.S. Patent No. D1046623.
