Wilfred the worm card bookmark

All paper and card based items are sent out with Royal Mail 2nd Class (UK) as standard. If you’d like your items to be tracked and signed for, please make sure to select this at check out. You will not receive a tracking number unless the tracked option has been selected.

All paper and card based items are shipped in a board backed envelopes to make sure your items get to you safely in perfect
condition! 

Sometimes my items may require an extra layer of protection (like art prints for example). These will be shipped out in a compostable clear bag to protect your items, and to help protect our planet from extra single use plastic! Just put the clear bag in your food waste bin or in with your compost at home.

All of my items come in recyclable cardboard envolopes or recyclable
cardboard boxes using recyclable paper tape, both of which can be
recycled in your recycling waste, or added to an at home compost system
if you have one.

Any items that look like they might be wrapped
in plastic, such as my greetings cards, are actually packaged in
compostable film and not plastic! No single use plastic used for any of
my packaging. If any items that are more fragile need to be shipped,
they will be wrapped in either honey comb paper packaging, or paper
bubble wrap. I will not ship any items in single use plastic. There's
enough of that in the world as it is!! 

Information from my supplier about the bio film I use:
These bags are made in the UK from NATIVIA® film that has been
accredited to EN 13432 and ‘OK biobased’. They are made from Plant Based
(annually renewable) PLA derived from vegetable starches (cornstarch)
and are compostable and biodegradable. Biodegradation occurs at end of
life once exposed to moisture, heat and naturally occurring bacteria /
fungi when it will break down into compost (not micro plastics). To
maximise shelf life – simply avoid excessive heat, moisture and light
(If a bag is splashed with water they don't start to degrade
immediately. If wiped off straight away they should come to no harm.)

All biofilm used (PLA and cellophane) bags are compostable which means
that they break down to CO2, H20 and biomass which can then be reused in
the eco system to make new plants. This can happen in either in home or
commercial composting but in commercial composting the temperature will
be higher and the process is much quicker. In a colder home composter
it will just take longer. (To be most effective home composting requires
the presence of micro-organisms, moisture and a supply of oxygen, so
for happy home composting you will need to turn the heap from time to
time to aerate it.)
