Sustainability is at the heart of
You have probably landed on this page because you care about the world too. We love people like you!
Since we launched in 2019, being an eco-friendly business has been very important to us. We are definitely not perfect and are always looking for ways to improve. We believe that being sustainable is a journey that is always evolving and improving with new technologies and knowledge. Therefore we like to make regular changes to improve.
However, if you would like to hear about what we currently do to be kind to our planet, then you have come to the right place!
FSC Certified paper & Ecolabel Standards
All of our writing paper and wrapping paper is printed onto paper that is sourced from an FSC-certified supplier. That means that it is responsibly sourced paper. Our writing paper manufacturer also complies with Ecolabel standards. This means that they provide more information on the environmental credibility of their products by tracking environmental aspects from wood to pulp and paper production.
100% Recyclable Products & packaging
All of out products are paper based which means they are 100% recyclable. Our cards come naked with a peel off sticker. Our recyclable writing paper either comes wrapped in tissue paper or in a recyclable box or envelope. We don't ever pack our products into plastic. On the odd occasion we have to protect the product with something a bit more robust. In this case we use vegetable starch bags that are fully compostable in your home compost.
PRINTED IN THE UK IN SMALL BATCHES
Most of our products are designed, manufactured and shipped out from our small design studio based in Surrey. We print in small batches or on demand. This means that we can keep track of our waste, our recycling and lower our carbon footprint. We outsource a few of our products due to us not being experts at everything (yet), but we always try to source from local or UK based companies.
