Environmental Policy


We regularly review our environmental policy to ensure we are doing all we can to make our products and packaging as environmentally friendly as possible including the following:-


Postage

  • We only buy recycled/recyclable cardboard packaging
  • We only use recyclable parcel tape
  • We do not use staples – we have a marvellous little Japanese staple-free stapler :)
  • We subscribe to Royal Mail’s Collection Service – everything is collected from our property at the same time as collections are made from the village letterbox. This has cut our carbon footprint substantially
  • We use an inkless thermal printer for our postal labels
  • We have a collection point at our premises for clean reusable plastic parcel bags and packaging – if you receive anything from us wrapped in plastic we are recycling and ask that you keep this and do the same please


PRODUCTS


  • We have our own range in felting pads – our ECO mat is totally biodegradeable, they are sewn locally from hessian and are filled with organic buckwheat husks, a by-product from a UK farm, and a little dried lavender (from our garden). They are supplied with an extra piece of hessian for patching your mat if ever required. These are lighter than rice sacks and COME TO YOU READY MADE AND READY TO USE
  • We are the UK stockist of the sustainable Woolbuddy felting mat that is made from 100% wool – these mats last much, much longer than any foam pad
  • We supply felting needles in recyclable corrugated cardboard. Our needle supplier sends to us boxes, not plastic tubes, but we may occasionally use tubes if we have had any donated for recycling and ask that you recycle these too please
