The world is slowly changing to a more sustainable mindset. We’re really thinking about our impact on the earth and the effect our behaviour has on the environment. As a small business making handmade gifts, we feel it’s important to play in our part in this shift and support plastic free gifting.

Plastic free gifting at Stamped With Love

A large majority of our customers purchase our products as gifts. We want to contribute to the zero waste movement as much as possible, and we value plastic free gifting greatly.

We’re doing lots to reduce the business’ impact on the world from our choice of packaging, to offsetting carbon emissions and supporting fellow businesses with a similar mission.

As well as focusing on our processes becoming waste free, we’re also committed to developing a range of specific waste reduction gifts to eliminate single use plastic.

For example, we make handmade aluminum bookmarks and plant markers. Both of these items are frequently found with plastic included – bookmarks are coated in plastic and plant markers are often fully plastic.
By using our durable metal bookmarks and plant markers, we’re reducing the amount of plastic in the world. At the end of their (very long) life, our products are indefinitely recyclable due to the materials we use.

If you have a request for a reusable, sustainable product you’d like us to make, get in touch.

How we reduce our impact

Carbon Footprint Offsetting

We use Ecologi to become a climate positive company. Each month we make a payment and they offset our carbon footprint via different ventures. An example of a project is the Reforesting Dalry, Scotland. You can view our Ecologi profile to see our progress and our tree tally.

100% Sustainable and Recyclable Packaging

In recent years we made some changes to our packaging to have 100% sustainable and recyclable packaging. These changes include switching to boxes instead of non-recyclable bubble wrap mailers, swapped organza bags to paper bags and using paper tape instead of plastic tape.

Wider Changes For Plastic Free Gifting

We also make a point to ask our suppliers to send plastic free deliveries and reuse packaging where possible. This is an ongoing topic and we’re always looking to improve this aspect.

For delivery of our orders we use Royal Mail who are committed to reducing their impact on the environment.

As part of our commitment to being climate positive, we plant extra trees through Ecologi for every international order.

Regular Environmental Audits

Whilst we’re making every effort to make changes, we know that these things are never static and change all the time. So, we take regular environmental audits to make sure we’re on top of anything we can do to change and improve our business practises.

Instead of making changes once and then ignoring it, we want to be proactive about having a positive impact at every step!
