Our environmental footprint is at the forefront of our mind as we conduct our activities here at Wood With Words. We acknowledge that we are not perfect, but our awareness and love for the environment mean we will continue to make choices towards minimising our impact.  Cards: Our earring/accessory cards are printed in Australia on 100% post-consumer recycled paper using environmentally friendly inks.  Inner Packaging: Your order is packed in a rigid cardboard mailer box. Your items are protected by tissue wrap or cushy shredded kraft paper or a combination of both. These can go into a household recycling bin.  Occasionally you may see some bubble wrap but they are often reused from other packages we receive. We can't remember the last time we purchased any new bubble wrap, and generally find that tissue and shredded paper provide sufficient package protection.  Outer Packaging: The mailer box is placed inside an Australian certified* compostable satchel. *AS5810 Home Compostable Certified & AS4736 Commercially Compostable The satchels are home compostable, biodegradable, made of corn starch and will decompose in landfill within 6 - 8 months.
