♻️ Why Sustainable Packaging Matters
The packaging industry is one of the largest contributors to landfill waste globally. Traditional packaging materials like polystyrene, plastic tape, and non-recyclable fillers persist in the environment for hundreds of years.
As a furniture company committed to craftsmanship and care, we asked ourselves: How can we protect our products without harming the planet?
Our Packaging
As an online retailer we do have to send our furniture, shelves and accessories to customers. This of course requires packaging to ensure they’re not damaged on their way to you. We are phasing out the use of plastic corners as part of our packaging, which will result in us saving 1.83 tonnes of plastic per year.
At the moment we use a combination of cardboard, plastic film and bubble wrap. Our bubble wrap is made from 30% recycled material and is also 100% recyclable. Cardboard, bubble wrap and plastic wrapping are widely recycled, either as part of your household waste collections or at local waste recycling centres. You can find your nearest location by visiting Recycle Now.
What we do
Our Sustainability Taskforce is looking into ways to both reduce the amount of packaging we use, and at alternatives. We have previously trialled a bubble wrap made from recycled marine plastic (plastic that has been recovered from oceans and seas), and we are in the process of researching other similar materials.
What you can do
If you receive an order from us, please do take your packaging to be recycled. Plastic bubble wrap can be recycled, and you can find your nearest recycling centre, here.
