Sustainability Practices at Nature Imprint
While pottery is non-renewable, we strive to reduce our impact by focusing on sustainable practices and thoughtful design. Each item is crafted with durability in mind, ensuring it can withstand the test of time and daily use. By creating pieces that are both functional and timeless, we aim to encourage a culture of mindful consumption, where objects are cherished and valued rather than replaced.
At our studio, we implement several measures to mitigate the environmental impact of our pottery production:
- Small Batch Production: All our ceramics are produced on demand in small batches, ensuring no excess inventory is created.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging: Our packaging is made from renewable materials, including paper, cardboard, and cornstarch packing peanuts.
- Waste Reduction: We recycle all clay scraps in the studio, repurposing them into new creations to minimize waste.
- Electric firing: We fire in an electric kiln. Since all our electricity in Quebec is produced from hydroelectricity, the energy impact of our studio is minimal and the CO2 released from firings is negligible.
By choosing Nature Imprint, you support practices that reflect our commitment to quality craftsmanship and environmental responsibility.
