our philosophy
As a lifestyle
product company, we take a conscious effort in selecting
materials and production methods that are eco-friendly.
We continue to educate ourselves everyday on the
different terminologies of what is recycled, recyclable
and biodegradeable so that we in return, can provide
a better selection of products to our consumers.
wraps + boxes
Our award-winning
wraps are printed with soy-based inks on 70#T uncoated
linen paper, that has 30% post-consumer waste, is
elemental chlorine free and have water-based aqueous
coating for longevity.
cards + jujus
Our greeting cards
are printed on acid-free felt paper which contains 30% post-consumer
fibers. All of our envelopes contain fibers from well managed,
independently certified forests.
baby
Needless
to say, our organic baby line is made from
100% certified organic cotton. all designs are embroidered
and assembled in USA. In order to reduce unwanted
packaging, all gift sets are packaged in our mix-matched
boxes, which are made from our prints. We encourage
reusing them as keepsake boxes.
recycled cotton totes
Our totes are
made from 80% recycled blended cotton yarn and 20% recycled
soda bottles. Manufactured in USA.
bio-degradable packaging
Starting summer
2008, we will be switching our stationery packaging to bio-degradable
clear plastics. The first 2 products that will have green
packaging will be our notepads and Meli + Jojo Collection.
ultrasuede®
There are many
imitation ultrasuede materials out in the market, and
we want to clarify that our material is the authetic and
original Toray Ultrasuede® America Inc. Though the
material thus far, does NOT have any recycled content,
Toray is a responsible manufacturer that is committed
to the continual improvement of the environment throught
its myriad efforts across all of its manufacturing facilities.
Most effectively, to reduce CO2 emissions and to aid the
elimination of effluent discharge.
social responsibility
Some of
the organizations we contributed to, since we started
in 2005 include:
2005
Kids of Kilimanjaro
2006 Save
the Children
2007 Nature
