Our Commitment to Sustainability

At Úna Heaney Designs, sustainability isn’t just an afterthought, it’s at the heart of everything we do. We believe that small changes can have a big impact, and we are committed to making eco-conscious choices in every aspect of our business.

Eco-Friendly Packaging & Materials

We carefully select materials that are kind to the planet. Here’s how we’re making a difference:

  • Compostable Logo Stickers – Our branding matters, but so does the environment. That’s why our logo stickers are printed on compostable paper made from sugar cane fiber.

  • Compostable Card Sleeves – Instead of traditional plastic, our clear sleeves are made from compostable bio-based film. We also eliminate them whenever possible, using compostable clasp stickers instead.

  • Recycled Greeting Cards & Envelopes – We outsource the printing of all of our greeting cards with thefactory.ie on 100% recycled card, using green energy and eco-friendly inks. This printing process is also carbon-balanced and we're delighted that this service is available here in Ireland so there's less of a carbon footprint and we're keeping the business in the country. Our card envelopes are made from recycled Kraft paper, reducing waste and promoting circular economy practices.

  • Plastic-Free & Reused Packaging – We reuse as much packaging as possible from the orders of supplies we receive, including the boxes and paper stuffing. Everything we ship is plastic-free, including our packaging tape.

Why It Matters

By making thoughtful choices, we reduce waste, lower our carbon footprint, and help protect the planet for future generations. We are always looking for new ways to improve and grow our sustainable practices.

Sustainability & Longevity

Sustainability isn’t just about using recycled materials - it’s also about creating products that last. Our art prints are not printed on recycled paper because paper cannot be both recycled and archival quality. By choosing archival paper, we ensure that our prints maintain their high quality and longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

At the same time, we believe that using recycled materials does not mean compromising on quality. Our greeting cards, envelopes, and packaging are all made from recycled sources without sacrificing durability or aesthetics. Thoughtful material choices allow us to balance sustainability with exceptional quality.

Small scattered dots surround the flowers, adding a whimsical touch. Above the floral design, the phrase 'It's the little things' is written in soft yellow, curved text. The card is placed on a brown kraft envelope, resting on a textured linen surface, surrounded by sprigs of greenery and small white and pink flowers.
