Sustainability
You clearly care about the environment, I do too
One of my primary aims with Bloom Puzzles is to tread lightly and to be as earth friendly as possible, which means constantly looking for ways to make what I offer more environmentally responsible
Puzzles
- Jigsaws - 100% recycled millboard (the cardboard bit), the image is printed on FSC sourced paper
- Jigsaw boxes - sturdy boxes can be reused or recycled. FSC certified paper covering, vegan and REACH compliant
- Puzzle piece bags - recyclable plastic; cut the short side and use it to keep your puzzle pieces extra safe or separate out the edge pieces for next time - this is not considered cheating :)
- Organic cotton bags - GOTS cotton bags to keep your puzzle pieces safe
- Box sleeves - made from paper under the FSC chain of custody
Candles
- Candles - sustainable rapeseed/coconut/soy wax blend with cotton/paper wicks, pure essential oils, vegan friendly, in aluminium tins from Heaven Scent
- Matches - sustainably sourced wood, toxin free - contain no sulphur or zinc oxide; FSC accredited packaging; plastic free cellos are biodegradable, just put them in your home compost bin, from Archivist
Packaging
- Postal boxes - recycled material, FSC certified, 100% recyclable, made in the UK
- Tissue paper - made from 99% recycled pulp fibres, recyclable, ph neutral, made using approx 35% electricity from renewable sources
- Parcel tape - eco kraft self-adhesive paper tape, no trees were cut down to make this product, 100% biodegradable & recyclable
- Paper carrier bags - 100% recycled paper, reusable & recyclable
- Paper 'zig zag' box fill - 100% recycled materials, reusable & recyclable

Everything else...
- Puzzle Lift cards - made from paper under the FSC chain of custody
- Logo Stamps - sustainably sourced oak handles, eco-friendly rubber, vegan (stamp and ink pad) from The Green Stamp Company
- Email & website - the environmental cost of email marketing and website hosting is significant; email list cleaning, considering the size and frequency of emails, and the load time of the website all help to reduce it.
- At home - reduce, reuse, recycle - I compost, reuse and recycle whatever I can :)
