We Care: HipKraft's Environmental Efforts

Things we are doing now:

• Our office and production facility are 100% wind powered. That's right, we use 100% Green energy as our source of electricity, and we're proud of it!
• We use USA-made garments whenever possible.
• We use lightweight (but strong) packaging materials. We do this to reduce the weight that trucks and planes need to carry to deliver our products to you. This is also the reason we don't offer gift boxes (to reduce added weight) - but we do offer your items wrapped in decorative tissue.
• We re-use and recycle our manufacturing byproducts whenever possible. This greatly reduces the amount of waste produced by the manufacturing process and saves energy by cutting down on some of the raw materials we need, which reduces the footprint of the transportation methods to move these materials.
• We use (and reuse) as many American-made packaging materials as we can. This includes our packing tape and boxes. Plastic items made in the USA are generally done so under tighter regulations and produce fewer harmful byproducts in the manufacturing process than those made in Asia.

Things we are working on for the future:

• We are actively researching recyled packaging alternatives, especially for our small poly mailers. Know of any that won't break the bank? Please share!
• We are planning to re-introduce organic cotton apparel as demand permits.
• Know of other things we can do? Drop us a line!
