How eco-friendly are Verdant products?

Not only are our cards and envelopes made of 100% post-consumer waste, the paper is also FSC (Forest Service Certification) certified, Rainforest Alliance Certified, and processed chlorine free, meaning no harmful chemicals or by-products. This also includes all our shipping materials as well.

When stocking our cards in stores, we use a biodegradable glassine band to hold the card and envelope together.

Our cards are printed ourselves in our home in Alberta, meaning no waste and extremely low energy usage. The result is a product that is fully recycled and recyclable, with a bare minimum impact on our planet!

Does recycled paper make a big difference?

Absolutely! For one thing, when you choose a product made with recycled paper, you save 100% of the trees vs a product made with virgin paper. But the environmental benefits continue. The process to make recycled paper is much more efficient. In fact, it uses 53% less water, and 40% less energy. 

Are all recycled papers the same?

No. There are many papers that are marketed as recycled, but it's important to look at the fine print. Many of these "recycled" papers only include 30%, or sometimes as little as 10% recycled material. We only use 100% recycled materials.

Where do you have your cards printed?

We are happy to say that we design and print the cards ourselves right from our home studio in Alberta! This makes our cards even more planet-friendly, since we are able to print the cards to order - which means even less waste or emissions.

Are you plastic-free?

We are 99% plastic-free! In rare cases, we may need to use traditional plastic sleeves in some stores in order to protect our art prints from damage or dirt. However, the sleeves we do use in these cases are 100% recyclable.

Why not use compostable plastic?

The thing about so-called "compostable eco-plastics" is that they aren't quite as advertised. Studies have shown that they do not break down any quicker than regular plastic. They only degrade in large industrial compost facilities, where they subject the plastics to high temperatures for 30 days! On top of that, they can't be recycled, yet many unknowingly throw it in the blue bin, where it usually ends up in a landfill.
