Sustainability Promise

WLS Makes Stuff prides itself on producing quality products that are also as sustainably produced as possible. In fact, the primary reason we produce and sell our stationery products directly instead of on a print-on-demand website is to have greater control over the products we use to print and ship.

All stationery products are printed with greenerprinter, whose paper products are 100% Post-Consumer Waste, FSC-certified virgin fiber, chlorine free and manufactured using renewable biogas energy. They also use vegetable-based and algae inks rather than petroleum-based inks.

Shipping materials are sourced from a variety of vendors focused on eco-friendly shipping products.  Orders will never be packaged in cellophane envelopes or plastic bands.  For some orders we may ship in reused polyurethane mailing bags to ensure weatherproof delivery.  We are continually re-evaluating our shipping material choices and our goal is for all our shipping materials to eventually be home compostable and/or curbside recyclable – because let’s face it, we’re all better environmentalists when it’s as easy as possible.

To reduce WLS Makes Stuff’s carbon footprint when shipping products and receiving supplies, we order supplies from US-based vendors and ship all customer orders in full in the least amount of packaging possible to ensure products arrive in pristine condition.

WLS Makes Stuff also sells fabric and wallpaper designs through our Spoonflower shop. You can read more about Spoonflower’s efforts to increase the sustainability of their products here.
