PLASTIC SUCKS.
Designing sustainably is something we are very passionate about and we work hard to make sure our products don’t cost the Earth.
We love working with brands to make mindfully made products that pack a punch. Here are a few ways we do this…
Alternatives to Single Use Plastic
Single-use plastics are often referred to as disposable plastics as they are only used once and then discarded. We strive to find clever alternatives for packaging solutions, and reducing SUP in our packaging and products.
Natural Inks
We use natural inks and dyes where possible both locally and off-shore. From fabric colour and printing to paper, card and packaging.
Recycled Materials
Where possible, we use recycled materials to create new products and packaging. As new products and technology is advancing, we are constantly researching innovative ways to use recycled materials in our projects, including fabric, paper, glass and polyester.
FSC® CHAIN OF CUSTODY CERTIFIED
Contain is FSC certified (Licence Code: C208375), allowing you to demonstrate your commitment to sustainable sourcing of paper and wood products. You can choose FSC materials from our certified suppliers and manufacturers, and use the FSC 'on pack' logos to highlight this dedication to your audience. If you prefer a more understated approach, you're welcome to opt out of using the logos.
Wastage
We work hard at designing products that reduce the wastage of materials. From paper to fabric we look at how we can utilise every piece of raw material in our designs. We may suggest to adjust a size by 1cm, but this could mean an extra yield in material width, reducing not only material wastage, but also improving your cost.
Factories
We uphold our partnerships with our factories to ensure high environmental and social targets are upheld to ensure the work standards and conditions are met through regular factory audits.
Circular Design
We passionate about how we can create a circular economy, and love exploring how the reuse model could be effective for your project.
LoGISTICS
We can offer carbon offset shipping on your shipments. compensating for carbon emitted through operations and transportation.
NO to SUP (SiNGLE USE PLASTICS)
We have a packaging guidelines that we sent to all suppliers, this outlines how our products need to be packaged. We’re often caught saying, bulk packing, no poly bags. We don’t package our products in single use polybags.
