Sustainability

Atomic Knitting has a commitment to sustainability and minimising its environmental impact. As part of this commitment, we have implemented sustainable packaging practices that aim to reduce waste and minimise the use of non-recyclable materials.

Recyclable Packaging

One of the key aspects of Atomic Knitting's sustainable packaging is the use of recyclable materials. We use recycled cardboard boxes for shipping our products, which can be easily recycled by customers once they have received their order. In addition, Atomic Knitting uses paper tape to seal its boxes, which is also recyclable and biodegradable.

Compostable Packaging

Another aspect of Atomic Knitting's sustainable packaging is the use of compostable mailers. These mailers are made from plant-based materials and can be composted in a home compost bin, ensuring that they do not end up in landfill. This is particularly important given the increasing amount of plastic waste generated by e-commerce.

Our Goal

Our goal has always been to craft gorgeous knitting and crochet accessories to bring a smile, enable confidence with stitchwork, and make better choices for our business and the planet.

  • Our products are handmade to the highest quality and beads sourced from local UK businesses wherever possible
      • this means our products last more than one project
      • we support local businesses who supply beads and charms
      • FSC card and paper used throughout the business
  • To reduce and offset our carbon footprint, we have a number of measures in place
      • Royal Mail collections from the studio where possible
      • recycled and recyclable packaging used wherever possible including our new compostable glassine envelopes
      • offsetting our carbon footprint by planting trees from spring 2023
      • phasing out of old style packaging in favour of greener options
  • Innovation in our products development to reduce our environmental impact
      • our products are designed with love and care to ensure the highest quality
      • beads are sourced and bought in one go, reducing the need for excessive deliveries
      • excess packaging on our outgoing orders has been removed to reduce postal weight

We also work to reduce the amount of packaging in each order by using minimal packaging for our products, avoiding excess materials and unnecessary plastic. This not only reduces waste but also reduces the shipping weight of the products, reducing our carbon footprint.

Tree Planting

From April 2023 - November 2023, for every order placed, we funded 1 tree per order through our partner Ecologi to a total of 300 trees.

Our first 125 trees were part of Trees for the Future in Tanzania - read more here

From December 2023 we are funding wildflowers, wetlands and wildlife and Atomic Knitting will donate 1% of our monthly turnover each month towards habitat restoration via Ecologi.
