My ethos for sustainability: I never compromise on the quality of materials in my product builds. Whether using reclaimed or new materials, I always make sure that everything is both durable and beautiful. When it comes to packaging however, I like to reuse wherever possible; we now live in a world where a typical household receives multiple package deliveries every week. That’s a lot of cardboard, polystyrene and packaging materials! Most councils in the UK have introduced recycling programmes, which is great, however reuse is a far better option for sustainability than recycling as it does not consume the energy of transporting, processing and reassembling that recycling does. With this in mind, please do not be surprised if you receive your order in a reused cardboard box. I make every effort to package my products to ensure they are well presented and not damaged in transit, however the outer packaging appearance is not as important as keeping the world we live in as beautiful as possible for as long as possible. If you can reuse any of this again, please do, if not, please recycle.
