Sustainability

Sustainability is at the very core of our brand. 
  • We only work with British papermakers, keeping supply local not only supports the critically endangered heritage craft of papermaking, it also reduces air miles and minimises the waste created by bulk purchasing.
  • We only ever use locally sourced native and non-invasive seed varieties.
  • The plantable paper we make is 100% tree-free, made from waste textiles and water.
  • Our envelopes are made from UK post-consumer waste, and all stationery is eco-printed with vegetable based ink onto uncoated 100% recycled paper.
  • Our plantable offcuts are repurposed for samples and packaging filler, and other waste materials are composted (and ultimately used to grow our cards).
  • We invest 2% of our turnover with Ecologi and they use the money to fund eco-projects across the globe, including tree planting. To date we have funded the planting of over 29,000 trees both in the UK and abroad.
In addition, here are some of the recent eco-projects we have supported:
