At Punlord, sustainability isn't just a buzzword; it's an integral part of our business model. As a pun-loving community, we want to ensure that our clever wordplay is matched by our commitment to the planet. Below you'll find detailed information on how we are embracing sustainability.
Manufacturing Practices
At Punlord, we understand that the path to sustainability begins at the core of our business—manufacturing. To ensure that our impact on the planet is minimal, we have adopted the following practices:
- Sustainable Materials and Waste Reduction: We use at least 70% organic or recycled elements in our products and repurpose fabric scraps to create products like Scrunchies and Headbands.
- Eco-Friendly Production: Our commitment extends to the printing technology we use, employing energy efficient Kornit printers that generate almost zero wastewater. An on-demand production model further helps us eliminate overproduction and textile waste.
Shipping and Packaging
Logistics are another crucial area where we aim to reduce our carbon footprint.
- Efficient Shipping and Carbon Offset: A significant 84% of our orders are delivered within the same region they are fulfilled, reducing CO2 emissions. Furthermore, we are actively exploring partnerships to offset emissions from our shipping process.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging: To minimize waste, we ship all U.S. orders in packaging made of 90%–100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic. Plus, we've introduced detailed information on PCR plastic and its disposal. Scan the QR code on our packaging to find the nearest recycling drop-off points in your area.
Sustainable Sourcing
Last but not least, our responsibility extends beyond our operations to our suppliers.
- Sustainability-Driven Suppliers: We choose suppliers specifically for their eco-friendly materials and practices, ensuring that our products support environmental health.
- Resource Efficiency: Our suppliers mirror our own goals for sustainability, using less water and energy in their processes, which complements our use of energy-efficient Kornit printers.
- Tangible Environmental Support: By collaborating with suppliers who also prioritize recycled content and waste reduction, we strengthen our commitment to sustainability from product conception to delivery.
