Our approach to sustainability
Our passion for green spaces naturally extends to passion for sustainability, guiding us from sourcing, to packaging, and to advocacy.
Evolution
Like nature, our business is constantly changing – upgrading for the better. We are always looking to improve our impact on sustainability with the resources that we have. As we grow, we invest profits back into how we can improve from a sustainability perspective. You'll notice gradual changes in packaging and product materials as we incorporate more advanced and eco-friendly technologies as they emerge in the industry.
It takes a village
We're careful to engage suppliers and vendors in making sure they source natural ingredients responsibly – with as little disturbance as possible to the environment. We vet our brand partners to ensure they have the same priorities as us when it comes to sustainability while collaborating on projects.
Waste not
We're young and scrappy and for that reason, we're very resourceful in our operations and materials. The packaging we receive our materials in is in good enough condition for repackaging for your orders? We'll reuse it. We have excess inventory from a previous campaign or collection? We'll find a way to utilize it. As we upgrade and grow our business, you may see our branding and aesthetics evolve but we continue to sell through existing packaging before upgrading them as to not let product go to waste. Like how nature favors hexagons for their efficient shape, we are motivated to do and advocate for projects that creatively utilizes space and resources.
Materials we use
We are constantly working to upgrade our materials to be more sustainable as our business grows.
