Here at Crafty Hen HQ, as a team we have long been conscious of our eco-footprint, so we’re thrilled to be awarded a certificate for taking steps towards becoming a more sustainable business by Planet Mark, in association with the Eden Project. We’re delighted to have their support and join a movement that has the future and the environment at its heart.
With the guidance of Planet Mark, we’ve taken a number of small steps and implemented big changes to improve The Crafty Hen’s carbon footprint. Here are just three ways we are working towards a sustainable future:
Under development right now are new workshop offerings for 2020. Keep your eyes peeled as we bring exciting new zero waste workshop options that have deliciously eco-friendly outcomes. Check back soon!
In the meantime, we’ve been stocking up on recycled or recyclable packaging for the craft kits in our online store. From bio-degradable plastic bag to paper parcel tape, as well as making as much of the kit contents recyclable or able to be re-purposed after their original use where possible. Look no further than our brand new Christmas Cracker Making Kits, ticking a lot of these boxes, with all the packaging and contents being recyclable, except for the lovely festive embellishments and ribbons which can easily be re-used in future craft projects.
Over the past year we’ve also been working closely with our suppliers to reduce waste when ordering in stock for our workshops and avoid unnecessary plastic by-products. With the positive side effect of also minimising the carbon footprint when being transported too. Hurrah!
We’re excited for the ever-changing possibilities this path will take us down. Whilst we can’t say we’re 100% sustainable or plastic-free right here and now, we are constantly on the lookout for new ways to move in the right direction, one step at a time. And in turn, we’re keen to promote these values with our entire UK-wide team and wonderful Crafty Hens as well.
So here’s to crafting a sustainable future!
