: TRYING TO RUN AN EEK-O Conscious BUSINESS :
I always try my best to make choices that are conscious and sustainable while creating my work, so I want to explain some of the ways in which I do this. I want you lovely darklings to be confident that when you are purchasing from my little shop that there is minimal waste involved.
Your Order & Packaging:
-
I use 100% compostable clear biofilm bags instead of harmful cellophane ones. The biofilm bags are made from renewable vegetable starches! (I have put a link to these below)
-
All envelopes & packaging are made of 100% recycled and/ or compostable materials and are recyclable and/ or compostable after use. Where possible the packaging details are printed on instead of using stickers to help cut down on waste.
-
I only use 100% recycled materials for my creations paper & card creations (this includes papercuts, banners, bats, prints, paper stickers etc)
-
All the tape that I use is 100% recyclable, compostable, and made from recycled materials
-
My prints are now ordered through Awesome Merch who offers art prints on 100% recycled paper.
-
All my shipping labels are printed on recycled and recyclable materials. Most shipping label backing paper cannot be recycled but this material can be composted instead. I get these from Eco-Craft.
Other notes:
-
Conscious of where/ who I am ordering my supplies from.
-

-
All paper scraps are recycled or reused.

I no longer provide packing slips to cut down on paper waste.
