Sustainability

Sustainability lies at the heart of MellowApricotStudio, and we are dedicated to operating our business with the smallest possible ecological footprint. We are implementing the following measures to ensure that MellowApricotStudio remains as eco-friendly as possible:

 

Plastic-free Packaging

We are committed to utilising plastic-free packaging wherever feasible. Our cellophane wrap, which protects our products, will always be made from biodegradable PLA. Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a bioplastic with the distinct advantage of being both biosourced and biodegradable.

Local Production Partners

In our efforts to minimise transportation emissions, we aim to collaborate with local manufacturers whenever we outsource production of our products.

 

Sustainable Production Partners

Whenever feasible, we strive to partner with manufacturers who share our commitment to eco-friendly production.

 

Recycled Paper

We prioritise the use of recycled and certified papers in our products.

 

Preventing Unnecessary Waste

Throughout our production process, we actively seek to avoid unnecessary waste. We are continuously exploring solutions to repurpose offcuts, ensuring they do not end up in landfills. 

 

Carbon-free Shipping

By using Shopify Planet we aim to offset the carbon emissions created by shipping out your order. For every order we receive, a formula is used to calculate the estimated shipping emissions. Based on those estimates, a portion of our revenue goes to carbon removal companies that have been vetted by scientists from Carbon Direct. Those companies use that money to remove however much carbon our shipments created. Any extra funds go toward the further development of carbon removal technologies.

 

This is an ongoing process and as this small business grows, we are keen to find more ways to run as sustainably as possible.
