 We believe in sustainable and recyclable product ranges

 

Victoria Gate Shop

 

Note from our buyers

We are always looking to improve the sustainability of our ranges, whether it is working with suppliers to change the packaging they use such as the introduction of corn-starch wraps on our cards and sweet ranges, or sourcing new brands who have found sustainable alternatives to everyday products like Cork Bags as an alternative to leather.

We also work with suppliers who set up initiatives to give back to local communities or the environment where possible. We set out to reduce and ultimately remove plastic pick up gifting for kids, bringing in FSC Wooden alternatives that last longer.

We strive to ensure that we are sourcing paper material that is made only from paper from a proven sustainable source. Our books and print product are made from 100% FSC accredited printers and we always try to source our greeting cards and prints from local suppliers within the UK.

 

Sustainability Matters

Within our retail outlets we will continue to seek sustainable suppliers, prioritising reusable or recyclable materials and reducing the climate and biodiversity impacts of our supply chains as rapidly as we can. (RBG Kew: Sustainability Strategy (2021)
