Reimagining The Disposable Category With PAX TRIP All-in-One

Published

PAX


All-in-one cannabis vaporizers—commonly called “disposables”—have exploded in popularity, making up one of the fastest growing segments of the vaporizer category. But they also represent one of the least sustainable product segments in our industry. Consumers are highly price sensitive and convenience-driven, making behavioral change difficult. PAX set out to solve this systemic problem with TRIP, our new all-in-one platform, and give consumers a better, more sustainable choice.

Designing a More Responsible All-in-One.
TRIP was conceived to bring PAX’s high-performance, design-led approach to a form factor historically associated with waste. Building on the company’s broader sustainability program announced in March 2024, TRIP is part of PAX’s commitment to reduce plastic use and environmental impact while still delivering the affordability and ease that consumers expect from all-in-ones.

The outer packaging follows PAX’s design language, helping communicate the product’s place within a larger, thoughtfully designed ecosystem while meeting strict child-resistance standards. This clean, compact design leverages post-consumer recycled materials,  underscoring PAX’s quality and sustainability values without adding unnecessary material or complexity—while easily being merchandised on shelf.

The device itself is fully rechargeable. It includes an extrusion made from premium quality recycled material made of 100% ocean-bound plastic, which not only uses 0% virgin plastic but also leverages an upcycling process that produces up to 80% less CO2 emissions. This material is not available through our traditional supply chain and requires additional sourcing effort to procure. In a perfect world, we hope to one day offer a fully plastic-free all-in-one; however, current toxicological and safety requirements, as well as consumer price sensitivity in this category in particular make that a challenging reality. Until then, we will continue to push the envelope of what is possible as we work to make consumers care more about the sustainability of these products.

Industry-Leading Commitments.
PAX is the first cannabis brand to achieve Plastic Negative certification across all product lines in partnership rePurpose Global, removing twice as much plastic waste from the environment as it generates. We fund rePurpose Global’s impact programs, which provide not only plastic reclamation, but individual economic opportunity and the development of waste management infrastructure in communities around the world. TRIP embodies this company-wide initiative, showing that a better-designed all-in-one can coexist with strong environmental stewardship.

Consumer Impact at Scale. 

By pairing premium performance with a more responsible footprint, TRIP helps normalize a “less wasteful” all-in-one experience. It signals to the market and to consumers that convenience and sustainability don’t have to be mutually exclusive. In fact, not only have we seen significant growth from this product, but we’ve anecdotally confirmed the demand, with many buyers choosing to put TRIP on shelf to fill a clear market gap.

Result: A New Standard for All-in-Ones.
TRIP is PAX’s answer to one of the most challenging product categories in cannabis. It translates the brand’s heritage of quality, design and safety into a price-accessible, single-use format while anchoring it in an industry-leading sustainability framework.
