Throughout the supply chain, the manufacturing process incurs little wastage and the manufacturing process is sympathetic to the environment. Furthermore, all finished goods are packaged in plastic-free packaging where possible and if an item needs protection, an ecological option is sourced; for example, we use potato starch cello bags to package our art prints.

Overall, we keep plastic packaging to a minimum and wherever possible it is recycled plastic.
