With a couple clicks of a mouse you can order millions of products to your doorsteps. Many of these products have made our lives easier, fun, and more exciting, but this convenience of consumption comes at a cost. Our economy was not made to respect and honor natural resources- in fact, it has come to do quite the opposite. Many of the products that bring joy to our life- like the stickers we put on our water bottles- are crafted at the expense of our earth’s scarce resources, and then tossed in the trash.
All environmentally-conscious consumers know that single-use plastics are a disaster for our oceans, terrestrial ecosystems, and even our own health, as microplastics have been detected in human blood for the first time this year. For decades, we’ve been told to just throw our plastic in the recycling bin to alleviate our guilt- but unfortunately it’s not as simple as that. The issue is that after you throw a water bottle in the recycling bin, it still has a tumultuous journey ahead of it. The problem is, a lot of places just aren’t willing to invest in the resources to recycle plastic and give it a new life. Fortunately, here at EcoStiks™, along with our partners at Repreve® Fabric, we are up to the task of taking your trash and giving it a new life. Repreve® Fabric has been at the forefront of tackling the plastic problem by using recycled plastic bottles to create high quality recycled fabric. EcoStiks™ is proud to work with Repreve fabric to use their recycled materials to create NOT your ordinary stickers that respect the sanctity of our earth’s resources.
We need to radically rethink our economy and how we interact with the earth’s resources, and here at EcoStiks™ we are humbled and honored to be part of this movement by using sustainable printing practices and recycled materials to create our products. We think you shouldn’t have to choose between expressing yourself artistically and harming the planet- which is why we offer a guilt free way to create custom artwork to decorate your life.
