My Sustainability Policy
I wanted to add this little note to let you know that at Head in the Clouds, we are interested in protecting the planet. Not one of my cards is high gloss or coated so they are easy to recycle! We use a fantastic local printer, and source our supplies in Ireland, unless we really can’t!
Wherever possible (which is almost all of the time), I use biodegradable packaging. You will know it is not plastic as it is SUPER NOISY when you try and crumple it! The cellophane bags I am using are fully biodegradable, which means that they break down to CO2 and water. This will happen regardless of where the bag ends up, however the process may take a little longer in a domestic composting setting.
For the most part, your order will be sent using recycled card, natural brown paper and paper tape. These days I avoid using bubble wrap unless it is entirely necessary, and any bubble-wrap that is used is pre-loved, thanks to my framer who loves to gift it to me whenever I need some (the mouldings for his frames come wrapped in it)!
I can wrap your print or card order in glassine, which is an entirely paper-based product. It is semi-translucent, and it is pretty too! Please add a note asking me for “plastic-free packaging” when ordering if you would prefer to avoid plastic packaging completely.
Should you have any further questions about our sustainability policy, you can email me at heather@headintheclouds.ie
