Green packaging options for organic t-shirts
The other day I was thinking about how to be more efficient with packaging for the organic t-shirts. At first, I thought of using the cylinder Quaker oats packaging but then I thought well, I may need special permission. Maybe I will pursue that route but that may need some more researching and planning because I really do want to work with big companies that promote well-being. Who better than Quaker Oats, huh?
Well, then, I read the Celebrating Earth Day with Eco-Friendly Crafty Ideas. I really enjoyed the suggestion about the Angry Chicken and how unrelated women came together to remake vintage clothing. Then, I came across the Recycle Grocery Bags into Eco Packaging. Brilliant! It’s so practical and nifty. We, at Blissful Seed, are starting small so that is very accessible for our company. We want to pride ourselves on making the least carbon footprint not just for Earth day but every day.
Elizabeth, thanks for your comments on my tutorial. You asked if I just accumulate the bags – I do. This is the funny thing: my husband does most of the grocery shopping for us and he never remembers to bring the re-usable bags, so he ends up with quite a load of paper sacks from Whole Foods. When I open the kitchen pantry they spill out on my head. That’s why I decided to start making those nifty sewn envelopes.
cheers,
Linda
Linda,
Thanks so much for your comment regarding those nifty green methods for packaging. That’s great you have the resources to turn those shopping bags into something so practical and good for people and of course, good for the environment. Sustainable practices are very important to follow through in my organic apparel business especially that I am starting out and everything. Very smart, and congrats on your sustainable methods. I hope to model after you with our sustainable practices as well.
Hope you are well,
Elizabeth
