Environmentally Friendly Practices:
May 28th, 2008:
In our attempt to be more environmentally friendly without, in any way, compromising the quality and efficiency of our products - we are incorporating the following changes.
We already use recycled boxes- In order to do our part to keep landfills as ecologically friendly as possible, we often order misprinted corrugated boxes from a local box manufacturer. These boxes would end up in landfills without ever being used, so we buy these boxes to ensure they are used at least once before being disposed of.
In a small way, this is how we help reduce waste. Use of these packages also help keep the cost of shipping and handling down, allowing us to pass these savings on to our customers.
This means that you may receive product from Holistica Skin Care in a box that isn't printed with our logo, meanwhile knowing that you, too, are helping to reduce needless waste.
We also only use recycled paper, no environmentally harmful chemicals and have moved onto the escarpment - actually the second highest point in Ontario - in order to have access to the finest quality, chemical-free water available for the products.
Ayla has now suggested that we begin to shred all of our scrap paper for product packaging fill, instead of the "puffs" (which aren't recyclable) & We also want to encourage communications by e-mail. We are trying to send out all mailers/sales via e-mail, if you could help us by providing us your e-mail address the next time you place an order that would be wonderful.
We are making every reasonable effort to do our share. Thank you for understanding.
Yours truly,
Terry Filion.
