We believe:

• That we have a responsibility to look after our planet, and to not create more waste than absolutely necessary. 

• That using recyclable and recycled packaging and stationery items makes a difference to our carbon footprint and is a better way to do business. 

• That reused and recycled packaging can be beautiful as well as functional!

• Nothing needs as much packaging as big business often gives it. 

• That we all need to be the change we'd like to see in the world. We can make a difference. 

• Sustainability is more than just environmental - it's also about community, care and supporting each other. 

​

We love: 

• Finding innovative new ways to reduce our waste. 

• Reusing things & repurposing them!

• Channelling our creativity into our packaging as well as our products. 

• Working with charities to benefit the literary community. 

• Supporting each other and creating community. 

​

What that looks like in practice:

• The boxes we use for Ninja Book Box and the envelopes we use for Preloved Subscriptions are 100% cardboard and fully recyclable. 

• Ninja Book Box is now packed with shredded paper which is recycled from all of the waste paper that comes into our house! This is non-glossy and can be recycled with your paper waste or put into home composters. 

• We use refillable marker pens to hand stencil all of our boxes. 

• Orders from our bookshop may be packed in recycled jiffy bags, meaning the packaging may be a little more scruffy than you'll see from other bookshops, but it will keep your books safe! 

• We donate £1 for every box we sell to our charitable partner, Give a Book, as well as running other fundraising initiatives for them throughout the year. 

• We are now supporters of Ecologi, meaning that every month we pay to plant trees and support carbon offsetting projects around the world. Every year we will donate 5% of our profit to Ecologi's work. 

• We buy direct from the publisher for our box and book club, meaning as much of your money as possible goes straight to supporting their work. 

• We always support small business with the gifts for Ninja Book Box and promote them as much as possible in the box and on social media. 

• We run several events throughout the year to promote independent publishers specifically outside of our own for profit products.
