FairMail now 100% biodegradable

Good news for the planet: FairMail is now 100% biodegradable.

The cello bags we use to pack our folded greeting cards are now made from biodegradable corn starch. So after unpacking your card you can chuck it on the compost heap to fertilize your garden.

FairMail cards where already printed on FSC certified paper and the envelopes made of recycled paper. The only thing missing now is to persuade our Peruvian printer to switch to soy based bio-inks.

That might still take a little while, but you bet we want to give it a shot. So FairMail doesn’t only have a good social story, but, so the environment also benefits if people buy FairMail cards in stead of ordinary cards.

Just look at how happy that makes our card packers!
