Making a hand sculpture can be an even greener gift
Hand sculpture making sets are not only special and personalized gifts but can also be environmentally friendly. You can make your creation even greener with the following tips:
Environmentally conscious choices:
If you have any mixing bowls or buckets at home that you no longer use, please don't purchase a new plastic bucket from us. This not only saves you money but also reduces the amount of plastic waste. If you do need a bucket, opt for the additional option in our webshop and remember to recycle it after use.
Commitment to nature
TogetherHands is committed to nature, and we believe that sustainability is a crucial aspect of all our products. By minimizing packaging and using only the raw materials that are necessary, we reduce waste production and lessen the burden on the environment.
It is made for our grandchildren
The TogetherHands hand sculpture is crafted not only for the present generation but also for our grandchildren. A hand sculpture serves as an enduring memory that spans generations. It's crucial that not only the sculpture itself endures but also that its creation process is environmentally friendly. By focusing on waste reduction and sustainability now, we can ensure that our grandchildren inherit a clean and healthy environment.
Environmentally friendly packaging
TogetherHands sets are eco-friendly gifts because they feature minimal packaging. Packed in paper boxes, they eschew unnecessary decorations, colorful embellishments, or glossy finishes. The emphasis lies in the experience and the memories created, rather than the packaging itself.
Why is it important to minimize packaging?
Minimizing packaging is vital for several reasons. Firstly, it reduces the volume of waste deposited in landfills. Secondly, it conserves resources during production and transportation. By doing so, we not only protect the environment but also contribute to a sustainable future.
Tips for environmentally friendly creation:
- Use recycled materials: Opt for tools and materials that are recyclable or have been recycled.
- Avoid unnecessary waste: Consider your actual needs and strive to minimize excess materials and packaging.
- Recycling: Collect production waste selectively and ensure it undergoes proper recycling processes.
The impact of online orders and packaging on the environment.
The packaging waste generated by online shopping poses a substantial environmental challenge. The World Economic Forum reports that CO2 emissions from the shipping industry have risen sharply due to fast deliveries and increasing consumer demands. In 2020 alone, packaging waste from online purchases totaled 11,300 tons of cardboard and plastic, equivalent to filling 99 Olympic-sized swimming pools (Earth.Org) (Packaging Gateway).
Another study highlighted that Amazon alone produced 599 million pounds of plastic packaging waste in 2020, with approximately 23.5 million pounds ending up in oceans (Oceana). This accumulation of plastic waste is concerning due to its long decomposition period, which can last hundreds of years and poses significant threats to wildlife.
Sustainable solutions
Consumers are increasingly seeking environmentally friendly options. According to a survey, 79% of customers prefer products with sustainable packaging (Packaging Gateway). TogetherHands is committed to sustainable packaging solutions to minimize environmental impact. This includes using paper-based packaging and recyclable materials, as well as educating consumers about environmental awareness.
The rise in online shopping and its associated packaging waste sends a clear message: it's time for all of us to take responsibility for our environment.
We are dedicated to nature and believe in avoiding unnecessary waste. Quality doesn't depend on packaging. If you need a bucket for your set and don't have one at home, add it to your cart! If we prioritize sustainability, we can secure a cleaner, better future not only for ourselves but also for our grandchildren. Choose TogetherHands sets to create lasting memories in an environmentally conscious manner!
And if you've purchased a bucket, please recycle it after use. Let's work together to make the future greener!
