REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.
In honor of Earth Day, I wanted to share all the ways I strive to make Sal Studios as environmentally friendly as possible.
Being a stationer and letterpress printer, I obviously use a lot of paper. And respecting the environment is something I am very passionate about. Here are a few ways that I help out the environment in the studio:
Handmade/Seeded paper:
This year, I made a huge shift towards handmade paper and seeded handmade paper for all of my printing. Most handmade paper is made from recycled paper or fabric scraps. My seeded paper is made from 100% recycled materials AND well, it’s plantable.
Repurposing paper scraps
I obviously recycle all my paper scraps. But without getting too into it, a lot of the recycling in the U.S. actually doesn't get recycled and its a huge bummer. So I try to reduce even my recycling and repurpose my scrap paper if I can. My mini notecards, plant care cards, and gift tags are all products I have made with scraps of paper I would typically throw away. I'm continuously thinking of new ideas for what to do with scraps.
Packaging
We reuse our packaging materials to minimize waste, and everything is shipped in 100% paper boxes. No plastic, no ribbons—just thoughtfully designed packaging that’s kind to the planet.
100% recyclable materials:
Aside from wax seals, every item we offer is made from 100% recycled materials. We’re committed to keeping things eco-friendly, which is why you won’t find ribbons, acrylic, or plastic anywhere in our products.
