All our tape and envelopes are paper-based and recyclable. Even our string is 100% biodegradable, composed of natural, compostable fibres.

Sustainability

Made with a mixture of FSC and recycled materials, measuring 68cm x 48cm, it includes an A4 inlay providing you with a clear guide to piece it all together.

Waste, the Responsible Way

Our waste-reduction mantra revolves around three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. These principles have led to substantial reductions in our waste footprint. Notably, we've held onto a treasure trove of paper off-cuts, anticipating their future use in creative projects.

When it comes to packaging materials, we adopt a mindful approach. Reusable materials like cardboard boxes and bubble wrap are given a second life, reducing the need for new resources. Our philosophy is clear: reuse before recycle. Any remaining paper materials find purpose as padding in our packaging, ensuring your orders arrive in pristine condition.

Materials Matter

Paper is at the heart of our artistic endeavours. We exclusively use Permajet paper for in-house artwork printing, guaranteeing top-notch quality and durability. Our suppliers share our commitment to sustainability, insisting on FSC certification for all pulp products.

For other in-house printed materials, we opt for 100% recycled Favini papers or recycled copy paper. When we outsource printing, we prioritise materials from environmentally responsible sources, ensuring that every tree used is replaced with a new one.

About the company:

Bert, The Designer of Things, is a multi-disciplined graphic designer and architectural artist.

On a mission to illustrate all working lighthouses around the Irish coast, I've 86 Irish lighthouses in the collection so far.

There is such a beauty to these towers, and how they stand over the ocean. I am gobsmacked by how these structures were created 150 to 200 years ago. How and where they were built is just utterly fascinating. I'm especially drawn to any of the lighthouses that were built on rocky islands in these crazily remote locations

Considering the time they were built in and the tools available at the time, not to mention the sheer scale of it when you are near them it is awe-inspiring.
