Plastic-free products & packaging
A thoughtful parcel, inside and out
Packaging matters
The joy of opening a parcel should not become a problem once it is empty.
Protective packaging has a job to do, but it should not linger for generations. We keep ours as minimal as we can and choose paper-based, reusable, recyclable, biodegradable or compostable alternatives wherever they are appropriate.
Our packaging policy
Three small words guide every parcel.
We use the waste hierarchy as a practical order of priorities: avoid what we do not need, keep useful materials in circulation and recycle what remains.
Reuse
Give strong boxes and useful packing materials another journey. Your order may arrive in a carefully reused box—our kind of ECObox.
Recycle
Choose materials that can become something new, with clear and simple disposal guidance wherever possible.
What your order arrives in
Every layer considered.
Suppliers and specifications can change, so use these fields to keep every material claim accurate and current.
Recycled cardboard boxes
Our boxes use 100% recycled content, and we reuse sound boxes and packing materials whenever we can.
Paper parcel tape
A UK-made, vegan-friendly paper tape chosen as a recyclable, biodegradable and compostable alternative to plastic parcel tape.
Paper postal bags
Smaller orders may travel in UK-made postal bags designed to be reusable, recyclable and biodegradable.
Recycled tissue paper
Made from 100% UK post-consumer waste and selected to be acid-free, recyclable, biodegradable and compostable.
Natural flax twine
A natural plant-based string that can be reused, biodegraded or composted after its parcel-tying days are over.
Recycled cotton card
Selected inserts use cotton paper made from recycled pre-consumer T-shirt offcuts, turning textile waste into strong, naturally bright card.
Less waste, more thought
“Beautiful packaging can still know when to disappear.”
We want your parcel to feel special without relying on throwaway decoration. Useful, honest materials do that job beautifully.
After the unwrapping
What happens next matters too.
Keep anything useful for another parcel or project. When it has reached the end of its useful life, follow the guidance below and your local collection rules.
Reuse it
Save boxes, tissue, twine and clean packing paper for storage, crafts or your next parcel.
Recycle paper
Flatten clean cardboard and paper packaging, then place it in the appropriate paper recycling collection.
Compost suitable items
Only compost materials specifically marked as suitable for your home or local composting system.
Follow local guidance
Recycling and composting services vary, so check your council or waste provider before disposal.
Remove delivery labels or any non-paper components where your local guidance asks you to do so.
Progress, not perfection
We will keep asking what can be removed, reused or improved.
Packaging changes as products, suppliers and better materials evolve. Our promise is to review it honestly and communicate specific claims clearly.
- Now Keep conventional plastic out of our product and parcel packaging.
- Ongoing Review packaging size, recycled content and end-of-life guidance.
- Next Make packaging information even clearer at product and parcel level.
