Environmental sustainability
I am proudly committed to ensuring my small independent art business operates as environmentally-friendly and sustainably as can be, and I am continually looking for ways to improve.
Every print plants a tree!
Every print purchased funds the planting of one mangrove tree through Earthly’s mangrove regeneration project in Madagascar. View the project>>
Products & packaging
I carefully source materials for my prints, products and packaging to avoid, where possible, the use of virgin, single-use and non-recyclable materials. I am always on the look out for better alternatives as technology improves.
-
prints - made on cotton rag paper, a recycled by-product of the textile industry
-
greetings cards - made of 100% post consumer waste recycled fibres (FSC certified) with recycled kraft envelopes
-
stickers - made of woodfree paper composed of 95% sugar cane fibres & 5% of hemp/ linen mix, biodegradable & recyclable
-
plastic free packaging* - smaller prints are protected in a film derived from potato starch which is home-compostable. Larger prints are protected with tissue paper then rolled in a cardboard tube. Greetings cards and stickers are posted in recycled and recyclable Kraft envelopes. Plastic free tape is used.
*Please note my largest prints are rolled into 4" postal tubes for which an alternative to plastic end caps is not available at the time of writing. I am currently looking for a plastic free alternative and would love to hear from anybody who knows of one.
