Sustainability

Creating products responsibly, as best as I can, was one of the key things to consider before creating Purpose & Wild. 

Although I can't claim to be perfect when it comes to sustainability, (in life or business,) I made the decision to focus on the things that I can change.

Our Stationery

I chose a printer who are focused on creating eco friendly products & are based in the UK, reducing the carbon footprint of our products. They are a waterless & chemical free printer, who use vegetable oil based inks & eco friendly toners. All paper used is either 100% recycled or FSC certified & are delivered to us free from plastic.

I try to use recycled paper over FSC certified paper wherever possible in our products.

Packaging 

All of our orders are sent out completely plastic free & recyclable packaging. Our stickers have a matte paper finish rather than gloss & your order will be packaged in either cardboard boxes or paper envelopes. I'm a bit of a sucker for beautiful packaging, so I illustrated the design for the eco friendly tissue paper myself, with the view of it being reused for future gift giving. (Please tag us on social media if you do this, I would love to see!)

Our Apparel 

To create our t-shirts & tote bags, I decided to use Teemill. When you purchase from our Teemill store, your order will be sent directly from them completely plastic free from their UK premises. What I love about Teemill is that they are a print on demand company, meaning that nothing is created unnecessarily or wasted. They use Organic cotton & even recycled fabric, use eco friendly inks & run their factory on renewable energy.
