ECO-FRIENDLY STUDIO

​I knew when I started Studio Chelsea that I wanted to be as eco-friendly as possible. Minimizing our impact on the environment is so important to me. As an early stage small business, I decided I still wanted to do everything I can to think about sustainability, and it will only get better as the studio grows!

​

Here are the ways I've implemented eco-friendly studio practices: 

• Recyclable, tab-locking rigid mailers avoid plastic waste & tape from self-seal mailers
  (for packaging art prints up to 8x10)

• Water-activated gummed paper tape for sealing packages that is 100% recyclable, biodegradable and repulpable

• Recyclable backing boards

• Minimal packaging materials and brand inserts (while still making it a beautiful unboxing experience!)

• Giclee printer for superior print quality and longevity (pigment based ink will last 100s of years)

• Professional printer with larger ink wells, reducing frequency of cartridge replacements 

• In-studio fine art printer for smaller prints, allowing orders to be printed on demand which reduces waste

• In-studio printing on archival fine art paper composed of 100% fiber made from cotton linters. These linters are considered "recovered fibers" by the EPA - reclaiming linters puts to use what would have become waste

• Print shop printing on demand for larger print sizes, reducing excess and waste

• Carbon-neutral shipping across North America
