Product/Packaging Environmental, Sustainability, and Labor Policy
Products – All are made from 100% natural, organic, recycled, upcycled, or a combination of these materials except for a very small portion of products that contain a minimal percentage of acrylic/poly fibers. These products will be upgraded to remove the small percentage of acrylic/poly fibers, or they will be replaced with a more environmentally friendly alternative in the very near future.
Product Manufacturing – Our products are manufactured, created, or hand-made in environmentally friendly manners that respect the earth, the water, and all living beings.
Product Packaging – Many of our products come in zero waste packaging, most of the remaining products come in curbside recyclable packaging, while some products may come with plastic wrap that is only recyclable at drop off locations. Please refer to your local recycling guidelines.
Shipping Packaging – All our products are shipped in 100% curbside recyclable packaging, except if the package has tissue paper. The tissue paper may not be curbside recyclable, please check your local recycling guidelines. Otherwise, the tissue paper is compostable or may be taken to a recycling drop off point.
