The Three R’s
We love our planet very much and we believe everybody has a part to play in reducing his/her own impact on the environment. This is why we have adopted the principle of the three R’s: we reuse, repair and recycle as much as possible.
Studio
We seek to reduce the amount of energy used in the studio as much as possible. Lights and electrical equipment are switched off when not in use. Heating is adjusted with energy consumption in mind.
We evaluate the environmental impact of any new products we intend to purchase. Cleaning products used in the studio are as environmentally friendly as possible and are only used when necessary.
Material
We favour local and responsible suppliers, whether it is for clay or any other materials we use in the studio.
We use stoneware clay as it is very durable and can last forever if cared for. Not only this type of clay is excellent for tableware production but it also helps us reduce our consumption of natural resources, both in terms of raw materials and energy.
We only use lead-free and cadmium-free glazes, which are fully non-toxic.
Shipping & Packaging
We use environmentally friendly shipping methods whenever possible and we propose a free pickup option for customers who would like to stop by the studio and pick up their order.
We try our best to match the size of the package to the products in order to avoid packaging void fill. We use a mix of kraft paper and compostable foam chips as an alternative to plastic bubble wrap. We also use recyclable kraft tape to seal our packages.
