Our Commitments to Sustainability
Zero Emissions Shipping
We clean up after ourselves.
Like other ecommerce companies, all our deliveries have a carbon footprint, ranging from small to large, which we are reducing to zero. That's why we support cutting-edge companies that remove carbon from the air. Together with Shopify Planet, we help to fund carbon removal to ensure that we remove as much carbon as our deliveries generate.
FelinFach Forest
Our forest is modest but growing.
Working with Tree Nation, we plant one tree for every product ordered from our website. Planting trees has been proven to be one of the most efficient solutions to fight Climate Change. Thanks to our reforestation and conservation projects we help to restore forests, create jobs, support local communities and protect biodiversity.
Plastic Freedom
We believe that we are close to "Plastic Freedom".
High-quality, sustainably sourced plastic-free packaging that doesn’t cost the earth. All of our packaging, parcel boxes and protective materials are recyclable or biodegradable and are 99.9% PLASTIC FREE. Over 99.9% of our products do not contain any plastic at all. As a matter of policy, we do not offer for sale plastic products.
Sustainability Definition in our Business
There are different versions of a sustainability definition, but the United Nations defines sustainability as follows;
Sustainability is the ability to maintain or preserve a certain level or rate of an activity over time, in a way that minimises harm to the environment, economy and social well-being. In environmental terms, it refers to "meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". Sustainability encompasses a wide range of topics including climate change, resource depletion, and social equity.

Other Renewable Projects
Powered by Renewable Energy
All electricity consumed by FelinFach since 2020 is from 100% renewable energy, from UK windfarms - powered supplied by Scottish Power. Firstly, let's say it up front - no carbon emissions are better than buying carbon offsets to cover whatever emissions a company has. Going 100% renewable reduces our carbon emissions and also reduces our need to buy offsets.
Teaming with Tree Nation
In 2021, we partnered with Tree Nation to play our part in global reforestation. As a result, we plant one tree for every product purchased - five purchases in one order is five trees planted! Our forest, the FelinFach Forest, can be viewed here... click here...
