Our small Noémie box option is made from recycled greyboard, then covered by art paper. We used a varnish to protect the ink rather than lamination, so if you remove the ribbon you can recycle the box in most recycling services. Also, without the lamination, the box should degrade over time.Our pouch is made from a faux suede material. While it does not have recycled content and its not biodegradable, it's designed to store and protect jewelry.We also use recycled and biodegradable materials in our packaging and in our studio where practicable, and we continuously look for ways to be more conscious of our environmental impact.
