Eco-Friendly Practices

Nature inspires my art, and I'm dedicated to protecting it by using eco-friendly materials. My packaging materials are in some way recyclable, compostable, or reusable, making it easy for you to make environmentally-conscious choices with your purchase.

 

Summary of my current practices:

Prints

  • Each print is placed inside a protective plastic sleeve that's ideal for shipping and storage. This plastic sleeve contains 10% recycled polypropylene and is acid- and lignin-free to prevent deterioration. This sleeve is also resealable so it can be reused many times. Based on my research, unfortunately there is not a good alternative to this as other materials like paper are not suitable for storing high-quality fine art prints. This is something I plan to continue to research! 
  • Further protection is provided by repurposed cardboard that will be inserted in mailer to prevent package from being bent. 

Mini Prints

  • Your mini print packaging will have no plastic, but rather will be wrapped inside kraft tissue paper, which is made from 100% recycled materials, including 20% post-consumer waste. It is FSC certified, plastic-free, curbside recyclable, and compostable. Produced in the USA, this ensures a low transportation footprint and transparent supply chain. You can find more information about this tissue paper at EcoEnclose. 

Card Sets

  • To hold together these cute little notecard sets, a piece of extra special, handmade, plantable seed paper will be wrapped around your cards! 🌱 Along with pieces of dried flowers, it contains a blend of North American wildflower seeds that will sprout if properly cared for.

  • For further protection, they will then be wrapped inside kraft tissue paper, which is made from 100% recycled materials, including 20% post-consumer waste. It is FSC certified, plastic-free, curbside recyclable, and compostable. Produced in the USA, this ensures a low transportation footprint and transparent supply chain.

Shipping materials

  • Most items are shipped using rigid mailers that are made from 100% recycled kraft paper with 90% post-consumer waste. They are plastic-free, curbside recyclable, and naturally biodegradable. The mailers are produced in the USA, supporting a transparent supply chain and reducing transportation emissions. You can find more information about these mailers at EcoEnclose.
  • If you order contains certain bulky items, your items may be shipped in a box. Boxes used are made from 100% recycled materials, including 95% post-consumer waste, and are FSC® certified to ensure sustainable sourcing. They are completely plastic-free, curbside recyclable, and manufactured in the USA to reduce environmental impact. You can find more information about these mailers at EcoEnclose.
  • Decorative washi tape is also used in my packaging, which is made out of rice paper.

Future plans
As my shop grows, I plan to expand my eco-friendly practices as I learn more about what types of products are available!
