ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

Maisie&Murphy is committed to minimising the impact of its activities on the environment.
The key points of its strategy to achieve this are:

• Minimise waste by evaluating operations and ensuring they are as efficient as possible.
• Actively promote recycling both internally and amongst its customers and suppliers.
• Source and promote a product range to minimise the environmental impact of both production and distribution.
• Using as far as possible sustainable products which are ethically made.
• Meet or exceed all the environmental legislation that relates to the Company.
  
  🌟Please help support our mission by reusing or recycling our packaging. 🌟

 

Here are some steps we are taking to reduce our environmental impact 👇

📦 All of our packaging is recyclable right down to our business leaflets, garment tags and jute string

📦Our packaging is manufactured in the uk/ Eu

📦Where possible our packaging is made from recycled materials - tissue paper, business leaflets. We also keep and reuse packaging from deliveries we are sent

✨Each item is made to order with the exception of market stock to reduce waste

🌲A tree is planted with every website order with Ecologi - We have planted 1264 trees since implementing this

👕Our T-shirts are 100% organic cotton with the exception of our tie dye tees

🎒Our backpacks cross body bags and bum bags are made with recycled plastics

🚮We Sell or repurpose imperfect item

♻️Our pre-loved items !! Used items are given a new lease of life 

⭕️The fabric used for our decorative hoops is repurposed from write off tees (too badly damaged to be sold as imperfect) and my grans old curtains

✍️Our pet portraits are drawn on recycled card

👜Our tote bags are earth positive and made with 100% organic cotton

🧸Our dog toys we stock are eco friendly (biodegradable) or handcrafted by small businesses

🛍️We work with and support small businesses often to help our local economy

💭We encourage considered shopping- we create pieces we hope will resonate with you on a meaningful level which results in items being worn more often and kept much longer

Next steps:

👉Work with more small brands who’s ethos aligns with ours

👉Trade at more shows- cutting out the carbon emissions created when posting

👉Find a use for our embroidery backing cut offs which I’ve been *collecting* for years

👉Continue to add products to our collections that are sustainable

👉Plant more treeeeees (eventually we’d like to plant a tree per item ordered across all platforms)

My thoughts:

🌎Please check the environmental policy for any business you intend to purchase from.

🌎Shop consciously

🌎Look out for companies who use greenwashing tactics
