At Slow and Retro, we believe in doing things with care — from our designs to our packaging. That same care extends to the planet. As a small, independent business, we’re committed to making sustainable choices wherever possible and continually improving as we grow.
Packaging
- We use eco-friendly packaging materials where we can — including recycled boxes, biodegradable packing tape, and paper-based mailers.
- We avoid plastic whenever possible and reuse packing materials from our own supply chain to reduce waste.
Products
- Our designs are made in small batches to reduce overproduction and waste.
- Whenever possible, we choose responsibly sourced, organic, or recycled materials for our printed goods and merchandise.
- We aim to work with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices.
Shipping
- We ship using minimal packaging whilst ensuring you order remains safe.
- While we can’t control emissions from delivery services, we aim to offset our footprint through low-impact packaging and efficient processing.
- UK orders are fulfilled locally to minimise transport distance.
Reuse & Repurpose
We encourage our customers to reuse packaging, repair items, and shop mindfully. A slow, retro lifestyle is all about valuing what lasts — and that’s true for the planet too.
Always Improving
Sustainability is a journey, not a destination. As we grow, we’re always looking for:
- Better materials
- Lower-impact processes
- New ways to reduce waste and promote conscious consumption
We welcome feedback, ideas, or partnerships from our community — if you have suggestions, get in touch!
