Sustainability
Inks & Dyes
- We use eco Inks: We use Neo pigment (High-tech / eco-friendly pigments) , water-based inks that are 100% non-hazardous, toxin-free and vegan friendly. They meet the strictest industry standards as defined by Oeko-Tex 100 safety applications for infant wear, Global Organic Textiles (GTOTS-3V), Residues Standard List (RSL) and the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colourists.
- We use eco solvents: Inks derive from ether extracts taken from refined mineral oil. While they still contain harmful solvents, they have a lower VOC content than standard solvent inks and are significantly less hazardous. We have minimised the use of solvent inks throughout our supply chain and ensure either neo pigment or eco solvent inks are used.and are printed onto handmade vegan/faux suede and linen material. We have manufacturing houses in both the US and the UK meaning we for fill and deliver orders locally to you, eliminating carbon footprint
Card & Paper
- We are FSC certificated: Forestry Stewardship Council is a voluntary membership and certification that ensures environmentally and socially responsible forest management. All of our greetings cards are made from FSC board.
Other eco-credentials
- We use local fulfilment: We have manufactures set up in the UK. Here is where we print, for fill and deliver orders and produce products closer to the end consumer to significantly reduce carbon emissions.
- We are use 100% organic cotton: Using 100% organic cotton benefits the environment by reducing chemical pollution, as it is grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilisers, preventing soil and water contamination. It also requires less water due to healthier soil that retains moisture more effectively. Organic farming promotes biodiversity and improves soil fertility through natural methods like crop rotation and composting. Additionally, it has a lower carbon footprint since it avoids energy-intensive synthetic chemicals and sometimes incorporates regenerative agriculture. Organic cotton is also safer for farmers and surrounding communities by eliminating toxic chemical exposure. Lastly, it is non-GMO, preserving natural plant biodiversity and reducing dependence on genetically modified seeds.
