The Plywerk Partnership (a love story).

You know we’re committed to sustainability.  We use a trailer to bike deliver our boxes to Fed Ex and we partner with vendors who choose sustainability:  Rendered Clothing, Dharma Merchant Services, and Chris King (to name a few).  But, did you know we have an official “Sustainability Box Plan” to help us REDUCE, RE-USE and then RECYCLE shipping boxes and packaging?  We do.  We thought we’d share the official top-secret plan with you here:

 

So let’s summarize the plan:  We get boxes (and plastic shipping materials) because we get things in the mail.  The boxes we can’t re-use we recycle or give to another small company, PLYWERK, that ships out their product to customers all over the world!!

Here’s what the owner of PLYWERK, Kjell Van Zoen,  had to say about our partnership:  ”We are always extremely grateful when any business is willing to take time out of their busy schedule to help conserve and reuse materials. Our ability to reuse packing materials is entirely dependent on businesses like Sugar Wheel Works. It’s awesome to think that we have built a mini symbiotic relationship to reduce waste and prevent unnecessary overproduction. Hopefully our relationship will be an example for other businesses to follow.”

While we won’t always be perfect, we come in every day with a creative and willing attitude towards sustainability.  Ideas and suggestions are always welcomed!  Check out our partner, PLYWERK, here.
