Sustainability
Sustainability guides everything we do at Pip and Pod.
We believe it is not only possible, but necessary to create products that have a positive impact on the world and also don’t cost the Earth.
Here you can discover our processes and resource selections we have chosen to make our products to the highest quality and environmental standards.
Our PAPER
The cardstock we use for our greeting cards is ecoStar+ 350gsm artboard.
It is a bright white environmentally responsible paper made carbon neutral and is FSC Recycled certified.
ecoStar+ is manufactured from 100% post consumer recycled fibre in a process chlorine free environment under the ISO 14001 environmental management system.
our printers
Our printers are environmentally aware and have refined their practices to reduce their impact on the environment.
They use vegetable-based inks in the off set printing process, promote the use of responsible accredited paper and are fully solar powered.
Our Envelopes
To accompany our greeting cards we use Australian made, non-bleached, chlorine free envelopes with a natural raw look. They are 100% post-consumer recycled and biodegradable.
Our Botany envelopes are not only beautiful, they also have excellent environmental credentials.
PLASTIC FREE PACKAGING
We are now using compostable, plastic-free packaging for our wholesale customers.
Our clear cellulose sleeves for our greeting cards are certified for home composting as they are made from plants.
Please note that if they are exposed to moisture or the elements, they will begin the process of biodegrading.
