Approach/ Commitment:

To design, manufacture and package our products with little to no impact.

Truth/ Transparency:

We’re not here to pull the wool over anyone's eyes. We are honest about our imperfections and recognise that there is still progress to be made. We are committed to listening, researching new approaches, and holding ourselves accountable to our community and the planet. Through the efforts below, we are moving in the right direction in terms of how we produce, distribute, and consume.

Materials

We take great care in our supply chain; and how we choose and source raw materials. All our papers are FSC-certified. FSC-certified forests are given time to naturally regenerate and consideration for local wildlife is of the highest priority. We continue to seek solutions to improve not only our product's performance but the creation of our raw materials and where they are sourced. Contracting the radius of our sourcing circle as much as possible. 

Packaging

All our products are packaged in recycled, recyclable and compostable cardboard book wraps and mailers. Providing suitable protection from shipping damage without the use of harmful plastic materials. 

Manufacturing

We run our machinery on renewable energy and reuse or recycle all of our manufacturing waste. Looking to the future of how books can be manufactured with consideration for the impact of the process and the materials we use. As with every element of our business, there is lots of room for improvement, but that’s our promise, to continuously challenge our own processes. 

Climate compensation

We Plant, You Plant is our first environmental campaign, established in partnership with Sustainable Global Gardens. Our aims for this initiative are to offset a portion of our carbon emissions and raise awareness of the growing climate crisis.

For each item purchased through pithsupply.com, a tree is planted. Your order will also include a packet of Desk Meadow seeds, adding a little greenery to your environment and a small daily reminder to care for our planet.

Although carbon offsetting is not a perfect system, tree planting is the starting point of our environmental journey. Our goals are constantly changing, along with our knowledge, ability and resources.
