Nobody is perfect, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. Sustainability has always been important to me, and part of my desire to create a brand was to show people how absolutely gorgeous sustainable living can be!
Read on to find out how I embed sustainability into everything I do at Scintilla.
With so much damage already done to our planet, particularly by business, we wanted to make sure that our products don’t only look after you, but our planet too.
Sustainability at Scintilla means:
It means preserving the environment and biodiversity throughout the sourcing, production and end of life of a product;
It means protecting and enhancing the livelihoods of people and communities involved in the production of a product;
It means using only limited resources for packaging and using materials that can be recycled, reused and repurposed;
It means operating with as little a carbon footprint as possible, offsetting emissions and continually working to reduce them.
All of our products contain only natural ingredients that are sustainably and ethically sourced. This covers everything from buying sustainably cultivated essential oils and raw ingredients to using ethically made or waste fabrics and packaging them in recycled and recyclable containers
The containers used in my products are all recycled or recyclable. I wrap all your parcels up as minimally as possible, but I do want to keep your items safe in transit so I use recycled and re-used paper to cushion them.
All of my own packaging is made from recyclable or biodegradable materials. All the stickers, labels, and notecards are printed locally on recycled paper using vegetable inks, and we are no longer including paper packing slips in our orders (unless specifically requested).
