Our Plastic Free Promise

So, what do we mean when we say that we have gone plastic free? Well, pretty much that. We were using many plastic items in our packaging, and some items in our gift boxes, that were plastic. We have swapped all our old plastic items for plastic free alternatives.

Our plastic free promise to you, is that you won’t find any typical plastic* in our products or packaging. All our packaging is either recyclable or compostable too, and we don't use PLA plastic alternatives as these are still harmful to the environment and can take a while to biodegrade.

It is important to say that some plastics we need, in fact they do an amazing job! Our aim is simply to offer our products and packaging to you plastic free, to help make one less plastic gift in the world, and to do our bit to help reduce plastic pollution and encourage recycling.

When we decided to go plastic free, we sought advice from the amazing charity Plastic Free Communities/Surfers Against Sewage. We think they are pretty wonderful people who truly care about the impact plastic pollution has on us, wildlife and our planet. They want to help tackle the single-use plastic crisis, so that’s the avoidable stuff that’s everywhere. Things like plastic packaging, plastic bags, plastic drinks bottles, disposable coffee cups, sachets, bathroom plastics, excessive food packaging, takeaway containers etc. These are the things that have a huge impact on our environment and which we can make changes to eliminate. But it doesn’t stop there, as there are many more items we can swap for plastic free alternatives. Click on their logo's at the bottom of this page to go to their websites, and see for yourself all the amazing work they have been doing. I have also put a pdf link for their booklet ‘Talking Points’ at the bottom, which they have kindly given me permission to share with you (it is only given to businesses), because I feel it contains some brilliant information that you will find fascinating! I have learnt so much from them.

It has been a lengthy process sourcing new products and packaging that meet our needs, but we have finally done it, and won our Plastic Free Champion Award in 2023!

We earned the award by eliminating some plastic items from our business and swapping them with plastic free alternatives. However, we didn’t want to stop there, we decided to eliminate all our plastic products and packaging!

If you want more information about reducing plastic pollution, please do get in touch with the lovely people at Plastic Free Communities or contact your local environmental groups or council, to see what they are doing … joining in a beach or street clean up is a great way to help too!

Even if you have made just one swap to say, cotton bags instead of plastic, that’s awesome, every little helps and deserves a huge congratulations from us!

*The type of typical plastic we refer to is what we used in our business previously, such as solid plastic items, cellophane packaging, plastic bags, polyester bags and polyester ribbon etc. These have all now been removed. We must point out that there may still be a minimal amount of a type of plastic containing product, within an ink, adhesive or product from another company, but you will not find any typical plastic.
