The Crafty Kit Company & Sustainability
In January 2021 we were thrilled to be awarded “Best Sustainable Craft Company” in the Craft Business Awards.
As a company, we are always striving to make a positive contribution towards a more sustainable future, and to impact lives through inspiration, creativity and fun.
We’re very proud to produce our kits here in Scotland, providing jobs in our local area, and contributing to the local economy. Our needle felting kits all contain Corriedale wool fleece; a 100% natural material that is fully biodegradable with no plastic content; and are packaged in recyclable cardboard boxes.
The subject matter of our products can also make a less direct, but equally important contribution to sustainability. Many of The Crafty Kit Company’s kits celebrate the wonderful diversity of UK and world wildlife, and are stocked by conservation organisations such as the RSPB, Zoological societies, and several National Parks. Research cited by the RSPB suggests that connections made with nature and wildlife can bring benefits not only to the health and well-being of people, but also, through positive engagement, to the conservation of nature. Truly the best of both worlds.
Like all companies, we know that we can and should work to improve our sustainability: a desire to do better is one of our core values, and as we grow and improve, we will continue to share our progress with you.
