Responsible packaging
Certified by the Forest Stewardship Council U.S., printed with water-based inks, our shopping bags, and iconic black and white boxes are made with renewable fiber that contains post-consumer recyclable material. We use 100 percent recyclable tissue and sustainable Air Pads, GreenWrap, and Microfoam. Source-reduced and photo-degradable, our packaging requires less material and space–reducing waste, fuel, and delivery costs every day.
Sustainable forestry
Timber is one of our key raw materials and serves as a foundation to build sustainable practices that help conserve, protect and restore forests. Brands work closely with the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) and follow new legal requirements under the Lacey Act for all import suppliers of wood and plant based product.

The energy efficient bulbs light our stores, displays and are packaged with eligible lighting purchases - increasing our store’s energy efficiency by at least 66 percent. For customers, we also offer Tala LED. Our Tala LED bulb sales support Tala’s Ten Trees program.
