♻️ Happy Global Recycling Day! ♻️

Today, we are helping to raise awareness of recycling and sustainable living.

At The Country Crib in Dorset, our commitment to protecting the planet stems from a deep appreciation for nature and gardening, driving us to create ethical and sustainable goods.

Here's how we're making a difference:

Natural Materials

We prioritise natural materials in everything we do, make, and source, reducing the need for synthetics and single-use plastics. Our handcrafted apparel and accessories, made in small batches, feature premium GOTS-certified organic cotton canvas. Our UK-made candles and soaps are plant-based, and crafted with essential oils. We partner with ethical brands who share our passion for sustainability, opting for glass, wood, or recycled plastic bottles.

Recycled & Renewable:

We proudly stock items made from waste or recycled materials, such as Shell On Earth whelk shell products sustainably sourced and recycled from their family’s seafood business on the West Coast of Wales; our jute sacks are 100% biodegradable, recyclable, and harvested from renewable resources. Additionally, our British-made greeting cards use recycled materials and kraft envelopes.

Sustainable Fulfilment

We dispatch all orders in reused or recycled packaging whenever possible. Any excess cardboard is offered to local gardeners for composting. In our shop, we use brown recycled carrier bags and gift boxes wrapped with raffia or twine made from waste, and only offer our customers email or SMS receipts.

We’re also open to new ways of improving recycling—please feel free to share your ideas with us!
