Are the items actually sustainable?
Yes! We've been really mindful about this.
The flyer printing is carbon neutral, and our tote bags are made using fully recycled materials. (70% recycled post-manufacture cotton and 30% recycled post-consumer waste).
Why totes over plastic bags?
Tote bags are durable, washable, and (arguably) way more stylish than plastic bags.
A UK government report found that:
- To be more eco-friendly than a plastic bag, a cotton tote needs to be used about 173 times. So, the more you use it, the greener it gets!
- On average, plastic bags are used for around 12 minutes, yet they take up to 1,000 years to decompose.
- Globally, 5 trillion plastic bags are used a year, that’s 160,000 every second. (Less than 1% are recycled). So, using your tote regularly is a small swap that makes a real difference.
But why are you sending this stuff?
It's not just for fun (though we do love a good tote bag), it's because we know that most people are concerned about the environment.
The Office for National Statistics found that in 2024:
- 57% of UK adults said climate change and the environment are really important to them.
- And 76% have already made changes to their lifestyle to help the planet.
