Environmental Scorecard

Environmental Scorecard

We're working at it. Here's what we've been able to do so far:

  1. We gave up styrofoam packing peanuts and replaced them with a packing material made from potato starch. It seems to do a good a job of protecting the jars, and can be dissolved in water after. It costs us a lot more but what the hey.
  2. The black containers for packing the dyes are now made 100% from ground-up recycled plastic. (A black color pellet is added to the molten plastic to give it a uniform color).
  3. We reuse or recycle incoming cardboard shipping boxes.
  4. All of our new shipping boxes are now either partly or 100% made from recycled cardboard.
  5. The plastic bags we use to protect the clothing are made from 30% recycled material.
  6. We have been using Soy inks to print our catalogs and flyers.
  7. The catalogs and flyers are being printed on recycled paper.
  8. More of our clothing products are made without the use of chemicals.
  9. We recycle our waste paper, bottles, cans.
  10. We use 95% Post consumer recycled paper products in our warehouse and store.
