Greenspark

September 29, 2022

For Earth positive business, Greenspark is a wonderful new initiative that offsets carbon emissions by creating sustainable, carbon neutral businesses. Tracey Neuls are fully signed up members, so that means, for every online order you place with us, a tree is planted :)

The Work

Greenspark supports Eden Reforestation projects, which fights poverty by employing local people to plant trees in areas of deforestation, alleviating poverty through fulfilling work that benefits individual wellbeing and the whole community. 

Other areas of work include the building of ethical recycling ecosystems in coastal areas, providing jobs for local people and preventing the slew of plastic waste products from entering the sea and harming aquatic life.

More than half the plastic we currently use is designed to be single use, so these recycling plants create a circular model whereby the plastic is turned into 'Social Plastic' - easily integrated into new product and packaging. The people employed to collect it are paid for their work and can then provide for themselves and their families. Currently the scheme is operational in Brail, Haiti, the Philippines, Egypt and Indonesia. 

Further areas of innovation include Hydroelectric energy in Chile, Sugar cane power in India, and the use of block chain technology developed by IBM to transform plastic waste into digital tokens which can then be stored and traded. 

Really interesting projects which you can read more about on the Greenspark site.

Sustainable Purchases

We believe in conscientious shopping - in buying products that are well made, from businesses that exhibit passion, skill and integrity. We believe that timeless design and the highest quality materials make for longer lasting items, and strive to evolve our own practices as far as we can. 

We are so happy to be involved in Greenspark, and to enable our customers to share our vision of a greener future.
