Our satchels are worm-safe, home compostable cornstarch bio-plastic and we use recycled and/or minimal compostable packaging in all parcels. Our printed material is compostable and printed on post-consumer recycled paper with eco inks. Our cardboard boxes or kraft card satchels are made from recycled card and are compostable/recyclable.
We try to avoid sending you any single use plastics. Engel, Cosilana and some Ruskovilla basics come in a recycled plastic or food safe plastic zip lock bag to protect these delicates but they are very useful to keep - especially for keeping your woollens or mending yarns safe from moths in the Summer.
