Unwaste.

Redopapers lives and breathes sustainability. We upgrade waste materials into beautiful design products and help reduce the amount of resources going to waste. Waste is being ‘de-wasted’. Hence our baseline: UNWASTE.

Sustainability does not only apply to our products. We explore the possibilities of sustainable business practices on all levels.

Transport

Shipping our products and transportation of resources is unavoidable. However, we think carefully about how we deal with this. We mostly use our bicycles or a shared car. Also, we don’t ship our products outside of Europe, which is a conscious choice.

Packaging

Before shipping, the products need to be packaged. We found a way to avoid packing and transporting our stacks of paper in plastic foil. Instead, we use strong plastic crates (which we buy secondhand from e.g. vegetable growers). It needed some convincing from our side to get the shipping company on board, but now our transportation runs like clockwork. Orders are packaged in reused cardboard boxes or envelopes, sealed with paper packing tape instead of the standard plastic packing tape.

Our studio

We share our working space with other companies, so we don’t take up more space than needed. Our electrical appliances are shared and we only need to heat one meeting room during the winter months. All office furniture is pre-loved and we only purchase new what is absolutely necessary.
