We are passionate about sustainability, and have a number of processes in place to ensure we are doing our bit for the planet. We reduce waste by reusing and recycling, and are constantly assessing and improving processes to minimise our impact on the environment.
Some key points to note:
- We ship our orders in compostable courier bags and use paper cushioning rather than bubble wrap
- We reuse boxes and supplier packaging
- All our inks are certified to Oeko-Tex standards and are recycled at the end of their life
- We recycle all glass/cardboard/kerbside plastic
- We recycle thermal label backing and courier strips
- We recycle soft plastics through a community scheme
- We recycle toner/ink cartridges through Brother
- We donate clothing to Koha Apparel to give to people in need free of charge
- We work with Upparell to divert textile waste from landfill. The garments are broken down and turned into cotton fill/poly fill rather than being sent to the landfill.
We are adding processes constantly to ensure we are doing everything possible to help protect our environment.
We proudly use r3pack eco friendly packaging solutions, with both recyclable and compostable courier bags, as well as paper cushioning to protect any fragile iitems. Not only that, but we recycle their courier labels and backing strips. Every little bit helps when looking into making your business more sustainable. Find out more here: www.r3pack.co.nz
For garment recycling, we work with Upparel, Australasia's leaders in textile recycling. Their mission is to eradicate textile waste by reusing, repurposing and recycling clothing that would otherwise go to landfill. We are proud to be working alongside them as part of our sustainability mission. To learn more, go to: www.upparel.com.au
