Social Responsibility
Sugar Plump Fairy isn't a mass production operation, so we're not competing with the big guns. Our production costs are a little higher because we're engaging smaller and more innovative businesses with strong social & eco-responsibility policies to manufacture, print, pack and parcel our goods.
Garments
After a bunch of research, we've chosen to work with the manufacturer AS Colour - a New Zealand company who are dedicated to constantly evolving and updating their Responsible Sourcing strategies. Find out more. Unless otherwise specified, we print on the AS Colour Staple cut, which are made of 100% combed cotton.
Packing materials
All Sugar Plump Fairy purchases are packaged using eco-friendly materials.
Recycled Mailers are made from plastic waste and printed with black water-based ink that makes them recyclable again and again after serving their purpose as your trusted mailers. They are also finished with two adhesive strips so you can use each one twice (at least!) This makes noissue Recycled Mailer a circular economy product - a term used in the industry and world of sustainability.
Tissue is printed with soy-based inks, on FSC-certified paper, and is Acid, sulphur, and lignin-free. noissue Tissue is 100% Compostable, Recyclable, and made from recycled materials. We've made it look kinda pretty too, so encourage you to re-use it where possible.
Stickers are made from FSC-certified paper and printed with soy-based inks, and are 100% Compostable!
Shipping
With the recent collapse of Sendle (Australia's first 100% carbon neutral delivery service) we are now using Australia Post as our carrier domestically and internationally. We're hoping another environmentally conscious carrier fills this space soon.
