The Celestial Heart family is specially chosen for its biodegradeable and recyclable materials!
As a family we are doing all we can to reduce our use of plastic. The Celestial Heart family is no exception, and are primarily made from fabric, wood, metal and glass. Even the string that ties our little charms to the recyclable business cards and provides the hanging loop for our decorations is biodegradeable.
Our standing Santa, snowman and nordic angels are a great example of this. Santa's face is made from fabric and his beard is cut from a wool sheet. His buttons and his legs are all wooden. We have decided not to buy bags for the stalls, instead we wrap everything in tissue paper and we use paper and cardboard based packaging for our website purchases.
We are in the process of writing to all of our suppliers to ask them not to wrap any of these lovely environmentally friendly items in plastic. In the meantime we reuse everything - so if your parcel comes with bubblewrap or plastic to keep your Celestial Heart purchase safe, you can rest assured it is being used more than once!
Join us in the battle against plastic! Purchasing from Celestial Heart and other like minded retailers is a good start, and there are loads of other things that we are doing here! We buy fruit and veg that is wrapping free, we use biodegradeable bags for our bins, look for white plastic trays that can be recycled when we cannot buy packaging free (like with meat) and buy our milk from the local farmer direct in glass bottles via the #milkiosk. We know there is more we can do too - if you have any great tips let us know, we will post the best on our facebook page!
