Since we started Orikomi, making the move to eco packaging has been on top of our agenda. And the day to take the next step has already arrived.
WANT TO KNOW HOW WE SHIP?
We are a Carbonfree® Shipping Partner of Cabonfund.org. They offset the Orikomi shipping carbon footprint by supporting projects of reforestation or energy efficiency that reduce carbon dioxide emissions and the threat of climate change. Find out more about these projects like forest conservation in Amazonia or treatment of contaminated drinking water in Kenya. We believe that we should reduce what we can and offset what we can’t.
WANT TO KNOW HOW WE PACK?
We only use eco-friendly materials.
WHAT IS THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL MADE OF?
Our instruction manual is made of recycled paper. We have minimal text and images on our packaging. The more “naked” the packaging, the more sustainable it is.
WHAT ARE OUR BOXES MADE OF?
We use brown cardboard, which is 100% recyclable and compostable.
HOW ARE OUR BOXES SEALED?
We seal our boxes with paper tape. It is 100% recyclable and plastic free.
HOW ARE THE LAMPS PROTECTED FOR SHIPPING?
We use recycled plastic bubble wrap. We decided not to use toxic materials such as styrofoam, because it is not recyclable and it is extremely bad for the environment.
WHAT CAN WE ASK OF OUR CUSTOMERS?
Once we ship a package to our customers we cannot control what they do with the packaging materials. However, we do encourage all the clients to reuse, compost, or recycle the sent materials.
