Sustainability
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to support local Aussies whilst being the most environmentally friendly we can be in making a positive impact on the earth. Our goal is to reduce the use of plastic and use reusable and natural products that are minimalistic but still unique and fun to use in our everyday lives from grocery shopping to school, uni to work and just in our everyday lives.
Our design process is done here with love here in Australia. For all our products that we can make over here in Australia, we have designed and made them with love in the Blue Mountains and South Coast. For all products that are made overseas due to manufacturing not being available in Australia e.g. Jute, our products are made ethically overseas.
OUR PRODUCTS
Our products contain no plastics which means our products are reusable and recyclable. All of our products are designed and developed right here in Australia, with the majority made on home soil too, or ethically sourced overseas.
OUR SCREEN PRINTING PROCESS:
Our screen printing is done in Wollongong, Australia. All of our inks used are eco-friendly.

OUR PACKAGING
We are using HEROPACKS for our packagaing. Heropacks are made from home-compostable materials, mainly corn starch and PBAT (a compostable ingredient which bonds the renewable ingredients together).
HOW DO WE COMPOST OUR MAILERS?
To compost them at home, it’s best to remove any labels, cut them up and place in your compost bin as “brown” materials. These will completely break down within 90-120 days in a home-compostable environment - sometimes even sooner!
