Partnering with One Tree Planted

Looking after our environment has always been close to my heart, and I am always striving to do better when it comes to being environmentally aware, personally, and in my business operations.

I made the decision to partner with One Tree Planted, which enables me to donate on a recurring basis to help plant one tree for every item of jewellery sold through my online shop and studio space.

After lots of research, I felt that supporting One Tree Planted was a cost effective and achievable project, where anyone can help to plant a tree and feel good about helping the world we live in, in a positive way.

One Tree Planted is a US based, non-for-profit organisation that plants ONE TREE for every $1 US. They focus their energy on areas of the world that need help with reforestation the most, even Australia has been on the receiving end, after our tragic bushfires of recent times.

Sustainable packaging

In 2020 I made the move to eco-friendly packaging and marketing material for my business. 

All of the materials used for the packaging of my orders can be reused, recycled or composted to help our planet...

  • 100% recycled / recyclable cardboard jewellery boxes
  • 100% recycled / recyclable card used for marketing material
  • Compostable tissue paper
  • Compostable bubble mailers
  • 100% recycled / recyclable cardboard mailer boxes and satchels

There is always more I can do, but I feel that this is a good step in the right direction.

 

Sustainable Studio Practices

In my studio I am also trying new things to help lessen my footprint on the environment. I have been using an eco-pickle (solution used to clean metal after soldering) instead of harsh traditional cleaning solutions and it has been working just as well.

All plastic packaging I receive from suppliers is reused where possible or recycled through my home recycling bins.
