At Wrendale Designs, we are committed to using our business as a force for good. Our mission is to create sustainable and ethically produced giftware that brings joy to people's lives while also making a positive impact on the world. We believe in operating with transparency and accountability, and in fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint by sourcing materials responsibly, reducing waste, and supporting sustainable practices throughout our supply chain. Although we are not yet a certified B Corporation, we are actively working towards that goal, and we recognise the importance of using business as a force for good.
How we're making a difference
We use recycled paper filler
We have replaced bubble wrap and plastic air-filled pockets with recycled paper filler which is also recyclable.
We remove pointless plastic
We remove any unnecessary plastic packaging to reduce our impact on the environment. Currently, 97% of our range is packaged completely plastic free.
Eco-friendly product ranges
We’re constantly looking for ways to introduce reusable options into our product ranges, such as our water bottles and foldable shopping bags.
We work with sustainable charities
We work with charities that support sustainable causes such as the Marine Conservation Society who work towards cleaner, better-protected and healthier oceans.
Sustainably resourced materials
We use uncoated paper from responsibly managed forests for all our greeting cards and stationery. All our paper-based products and packaging are recyclable and we are sourcing more recycled materials.
Locally sourced products
We try and source our products locally where possible to reduce our carbon footprint - we are proud to say that 88% of our total product offering is made in the UK.
We use carbon balanced paper
We’re proud to have balanced through World Land Trust the equivalent of 53kg of carbon dioxide to protect 10m squared of critically threatened tropical forests by using carbon balanced paper for our soap packaging.
We planted 27,000 trees
Hannah and Jack, with the help of the Wrendale team, planted 50 acres of native mixed woodland in 2021 on their farm as part of a re-wilding project.

Ongoing improvements
We continue to seek alternatives to plastic packaging as improvements in technology occur.
We undertake a full audit in the product development process ensuring that any protective packaging is absolutely necessary and reduce the amount of plastic wherever possible.
Continually improve and reduce environmental impacts.
We are increasing our use of recycled and sustainably sourced materials within our product ranges.
We strive to reduce waste where possible throughout the product development process and in wider business operations.
We are committed to using transportation methods with the lowest environmental impact. We have pledged to ship no more than 2% of our inbound bulk stock, based on volume, by air to reduce our carbon footprint.
Explore our sustainable ranges
We pride ourselves on creating beautiful products of the highest quality that are sustainably sourced and produced with the environment in mind. There are always challenges along the way, but we always strive to minimize our impact on the environment wherever we can.
Our collection of stationery is always designed with the environment in mind. Where possible, we will always try to design and package our products using fully recyclable materials, or alternatively use materials that have already been recycled.
A sustainable solution for keeping hydrated on the go, our reusable water bottles are the perfect eco-friendly replacement for single-use plastic bottles.
Our collection of greeting cards are made in the UK and are printed on high quality, sustainably sourced textured board from responsibly managed forests.
