Our Processes Are As Green As We Can Be

And we try to improve on this all the time

We are fully committed to minimising the company’s environmental impact and proactively implement new sustainability practices. Here is what we have done to date regarding our Packaging and Fulfilment processes.

All our packaging is Eco Friendly and Recyclable. Our new Care Package Boxes (which are being phased in) have the FSC Mix certificate which means the forest-based material is from a mix of FSC certified forests, recycled materials and controlled wood.

About FSC certification

Currently, we can’t eliminate all plastic from our packaging, but we’re working with our partners on more sustainable versions of packaging that wouldn’t sacrifice any of its protective properties.

Where Plastics are used we try to use post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics. PCR plastics are made from items people recycle every day, like plastic bags and bottles. Most of our PCR plastics are made from shopping bags and wrapping films.

Our inspirational printed products such as mugs and stationary are printed on demand. This lets us avoid overproduction that is widespread in the rest of the industry.

We use a fulfilment centre for our Care Packages that aligns with our commitment to reduce our environmental impact.

For our printed apparel we use a company that only does direct-to-garment (DTG) printing which is more sustainable than other more outdated apparel printing methods, such as screen printing. Not only does screen printing use a lot of water and plastisol inks that don’t biodegrade, but it’s also generally used for bulk orders, which leads to overproduction. In comparison, DTG printing is more eco-friendly because items get printed only when they’re ordered, and this method can be used for single-item printing.

With our printed products we outsource delivery to ensure that orders are delivered within the same region they’re fulfilled in. Having fulfillment centers close to our customers is good for both the business and the planet. Strategically located fulfillment centers allow for faster shipping times and lower shipping costs, and it also helps with reducing CO₂ emissions produced when transporting orders.

Products available in the same region are shipped together whenever possible. This helps our customers save money and is much better for the environment.
