greeting cards
the company we source our greeting cards from are committed to reducing their impact on the environment by:
-
promoting ‘green’ products where possible
-
reducing waste and investing in technology that saves paper
-
recycling - 95% of waste is manufactured back into recycled products and the remaining 5% is converted into Refuse Derived Fuel
-
improving their eco-friendly range and actively reducing plastic in our packaging
our greeting cards are made from 100% sustainably certified recycled fibres and come with environmentally friendly brown recycled envelopes. we have opted against packaging in cellophane bags to reduce our plastic use.
packaging
to get your order to you safely, we have sourced 100% recycled and recyclable polythene mailing bags. for smaller orders such as greeting cards, they are sent in brown recycled board backed envelopes to ensure they are not damaged during delivery.
your products will be wrapped in acid free tissue paper, which is compostable and will not release harmful chemicals as is decomposes. topped off with a little sticker that is made from wood-free pulp, solvent-free adhesive and is totally chlorine-free. we’ll also include a little thank you card, sourced from the same company as our awesome greeting cards, which are made from 100% sustainably certified recycled fibres.
it’s important that we all do our part to help our planet and we’ve definitely made some steps in the right direction, thank you for reading!
