Nkuku UK Warehouse to Plastic Freedom: As of November 2019, all plastic void fill has been removed from our retail deliveries. We have replaced our small boxes with recyclable paper mail bags. This has reduced the amount of void space and reduced the amount of cardboard used in our deliveries. We have made a design change to our retail boxes; this has reduced our use of cardboard by 4 tonnes per year. We are using recycled and recyclable corrugated cardboard., we have also designed the boxes with a stylish print to encourage their reuse. We now have a shredder at our warehouse that shreds any box that is unusable to create packaging material for ongoing deliveries. This material can then be recycled. Recent initiatives include: Replacing bubble wrap with corrugated cardboard Removing polystyrene from ALL packaging by 2021
Nkuku support local makers, create timeless homeware that is incredible quality and they also have a full action plan on how to remove the plastic from their packaging by 2021! This is why I support brands who are willing to work on change as it doesn't happen overnight! You will however not get any plastic packaging on any Nkuku item sent from us at Plastic Freedom! They have already swapped so much packaging to be plastic free but any bits we get are sent back to them to reuse! "We consciously work with sustainable and natural materials with a focus on traditional methods of production, and this shapes our collections. We do not follow fashion but have our sense of individual style and our aim is to make timeless products for the home. We are careful to introduce new products that complement existing lines to encourage continuity and longevity of collections. We assess the sustainability of our products based on the raw materials used to create them and the process in which they are made." SHOP THE RANGE
