Solstice Glass is committed to doing business in as earth-friendly a way as possible and I know many of my customers are too. In order to reduce the impact that we have on the earth, I've put together a unique system of packaging and shipping that will make you feel even better when you order your glass art!
Recycled Boxes
Whenever possible, orders are shipped in Globe Guard 100% post-consumer recycled boxes. The selection of small boxes made with recycled materials is very limited. So, rather than wasting a lot of packing material, orders that don't fit in the recycled boxes are mailed in specially-sized small standard cardboard boxes.
Bio-Bubble Wrap
Bio-Bubble wrap is a unique, eco-friendly bubble wrap that will quickly biodegrade when disposed of in a landfill. Once the Bio-Bubble wrap decomposes, the only elements left are small amounts of CO2, H2O and a sprinkling of biomass that microbes in the soil will eat and process into organic material. Bio-Bubble is non-toxic and will not harm plants, animals or humans.
When orders require extra packing fill, the empty spaces in the box are filled with recycled foam peanuts.
No Extra Packaging
You're probably used to getting packages in the mail filled with paper receipts, catalogs, flyers, inserts, tissue paper, etc. When your Solstice Glass order arrives, you'll find only your order and a business card...nothing extra to toss in the trash. For the small number of customers who need a paper receipt, your order confirmation email may be printed on your home printer.
Carbon Neutral Shipping
The CO2 emissions produced by your package's journey to you are calculated by GreenShipping.com. Then Solstice Glass purchases carbon credits to offset the impact of these emissions on the planet. The proceeds from the purchased carbon credits are used to help fund the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF), one of the nation's leading non-profit carbon offset providers.
When your order ships to an address within the USA, you'll receive a link to a package tracking page. There you will be able to view package tracking information along with how much CO2 was offset on your order.
