Being environmentally friendly is one of our core values and we believe conscious business is the future. We hold ourselves accountable to create ethical and sustainable products.
From start to finish, we try our best to reduce waste and use reusable materials wherever possible.
Our main material, polymer clay, is a type of PVC (poly-vinyl chloride) which is a type of synthetic plastic polymer.
​
At the clay way, we try to reduce any polymer clay wastage by creating one-of-a-kind products from the leftovers or using the scraps in other projects, thereby, using every bit of clay.
The packaging that we use is degradable and/or recyclable.
-
The boxes are made from recycled kraft paper and can be reused/recycled.
-
The tissue paper used for cushioning can be reused or repurposed (you can make tissue paper flowers, lanterns etc.)
-
Wooden/tissue paper shavings for cushioning can also be recycled.
-
The pouch provided is made from cotton/jute and is handmade by local artisans.
-
Earring display cards function as business cards along with care instructions at the back.
-
Handmade silk paper used to enclose the accessories can be reused or repurposed.
-
The tape used to secure the box is water activated paper tape.
-
The thank you note is written on a seed paper and it can be used to grow a tiny plant.
Even though, we have researched and tried our best to be environmentally conscious and use the best practices possible, there is always room for improvement.
​
We encourage consumers to drop us suggestions and recommendations for how the clay way’s sustainable practices might be improved.
