Sustainability
Even beyond our core mission and values, Owlfly LLC is committed to sustainability in every aspect of our day-to-day operations. A few examples are provided below, to provide transparency and to serve as a roadmap for other small businesses interested in reducing their carbon footprint.
Recycled Packaging
Owlfly purchases all of its standard commercial packaging materials from EcoEnclose, a sustainable shipping company that specializes in circular and regenerative materials.
For large and non-standard orders, we will always preferentially re-use packaging materials that were shipped to us by other vendors instead of buying more. We will never purchase plastic padding (like bubble-wrap) ourselves.
Investments in Renewable Infrastructure
Owlfly's funds are deposited in a business bank account through Clean Energy Credit Union, which specializes in providing affordable loans for families interested in installing solar or geothermal systems, improving home efficiency, or purchasing an electric vehicle.
This way, we can ensure every penny of our funding is going to good use - even before we spend it!
Damaged Book Art Program
About 1 in 500 books we receive from the printer are damaged in some way and cannot be sold. We donate all of our damaged books to art programs in need of illustrated materials for scrapbooking and collages. Anything that cannot be repurposed is recycled.
