Here\u2019s how we ensure our products and packaging are eco-friendly:<\/p><p><strong>Eco-Friendly Products<\/strong><\/p><p>- <strong>Natural Materials<\/strong>: Our products are made using natural materials and renewable energy.<\/p><p>- <strong>Organic Cotton<\/strong>: The cotton in our products is produced organically, free from harmful chemicals, promoting wildlife thriving.<\/p><p>When we were choosing how we send our products, we had options. A plastic bag is used for an average of 12 minutes before it's discarded. It can then take 500-years-plus to decompose. On the other hand, paper only takes 2-6 weeks to decompose and the right kind doesn't leave anything dangerous behind in nature, because it is natural. It's made from trees, after all. That's why all of our orders are sent out in quirky paper packaging. When it comes to sustainability, small things can have a big impact. As your packaging is made with paper, it's biodegradable and recyclable, so when you're done either colouring it in or wrapping gifts with it, you know it can just return to the Earth, where it came from. Simple, natural, easy.<\/p><p>When your order arrives at your door, you'll always be greeted by this fun print. Our funky paper packaging keeps your order safe and makes a great canvas for your latest colouring session too. Since it's made from plants, not plastic, it's designed with nature in mind. Just like everything else we do.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/kpvu7gexjdn0p7iz7rnrfkt9ygpo3wtja3fqhu9jmbvcimht.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"Hideous paper packaging\" title=\"Hideous paper packaging\" \/><\/p><h2><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/nqfapsgl4sddfzpup7ez9sgthq9adeclu71m22psjugowoiy.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"Quirky recyclable packaging\" title=\"Quirky recyclable packaging\" \/><strong>Why Paper Over Plastic?<\/strong><\/h2><p>- <strong>Environmentally Friendly<\/strong>: Paper decomposes quickly and safely, returning to nature without harm.<\/p><p>- <strong>Reusable and Fun<\/strong>: Our doodle designs make it fun to reuse the packaging before recycling.
