Last month we announced our pledge to become plastic-free by 2020! We were so pleased and humbled by the response we received and have already made some steps towards our green goal!
As you may know all of our products are made in England which helps keep our carbon footprint to a minimum and last year we started looking for further environmentally friendly options to make our business greener. Our pencils were one of the first products to become plastic-free when we introduced boxes last year, and this year we replaced cello's with paper belly bands on our new Lay-flat Notebooks.
We are currently running through on all existing stock of cellophane, and are looking forward to introducing a packaging alternative in the near future with plans to trial eco paper stickers as a way to package card and envelopes together.
Shipping is another key area we have looked into and now only using biodegradable bubble wrap for our wholesale orders, as well as all exterior packaging for our retail orders being cardboard only!
We know there's still a long way to go on our path to becoming a brand totally free from single-use plastics, so if you have any ideas or suggestions please get in touch!
