At Petit Collage, we design our products to be long lasting, high quality and to grow with your child. Our goal is to leave a better world for our children, so we set an example for them in all our choices and deeds.

We believe in transparency and honesty in all that we do. By sourcing responsibly, reducing waste and through working collaboratively with our partners around the world; we’re constantly looking at ways to improve the standards we apply to all our products.

We recognize that sustainability is an ever-moving target and each day we focus on further improving our processes.

Environment

We are dedicated to reviewing each and every Petit Collage product to make them more sustainable and reduce their negative impact on our planet. To this end, we no longer use single use and disposable plastic in our product packaging and, perhaps more importantly, our transit packaging. Ultimately, we aim to remove plastic entirely from our back list.

We prioritize the use of responsibly sourced materials, such as recycled card, FSC wood and FSC paper, GOTS certified organic cotton, recycled PET, vegetable inks and water-based paints. As well as using more sustainable materials in our design and packaging, we’re adopting a much more conscious approach towards transit. We have made it a priority to reduce overall packaging size and material use, thus improving shipping efficiency.

We actively focus, at all stages of new product design and development, on creating something beautiful that our customers want to keep and treasure. We work with a small select group of suppliers to choose the correct materials for longevity and functionality, whilst ensuring that production materials and processes are as kind to the environment as possible. This includes making packaging that is made from recycled materials and curbside recyclable.

Everything we do has a carbon footprint; we just need to ensure that through thoughtful and creative design and manufacture, our products are as environmentally friendly as they can be. This will be achieved by eradicating virgin plastic use, educating ourselves in green and sustainable materials (not greenwashing our customers - not all natural materials are good and not all plastic is bad) and working with suppliers that share our values & demonstrate practices in line with preserving the planet.

Our Factories

We care how and where our products are made and have formed strong relationships with our manufacturers. Our suppliers are highly aware of our changing world and are working well with us to reduce waste, create more environmentally conscious goods and provide increasingly sustainable options for our packaging. A great example of this is where we have removed polybags in transit and replaced with tissue paper – something that was ‘standard’ has now been replaced with a ‘new standard’.
