Hi ArtemisCaine, thanks for the question!
We strive to work with fulfillment partners who carry a commitment to sustainability and fair practices. Here are some selected quotes from the folks who help us get merch out to your patrons:
-
“Each facility has implemented corporate social responsibility initiatives, like LED lighting and recycling programs for paper, plastic, and glass. All ink waste is disposed of to meet environmental regulations. We also donate damaged products to charitable organizations.”
-
“We try to do our best to minimize waste in packaging and source eco-friendly packaging materials. Many of our packaging materials are either recyclable or biodegradable. Bubble wraps are made from a minimum of 15% recycled plastic and 10% post-consumer content. Our kraft tubes are made from 70-100% post-consumer recycled content and 0-30% secondary recycled content.”
-
“[Every employee at our facility] enjoys paid time off, healthcare benefits, and a safe and friendly work environment.”
We know that there’s always more we can do to make progress in this area, and we want to keep these issues top of mind. We’re really excited that we just launched tote bags, our first 100% organic item! You can find out more info here.
Cheers,
George
