ECO CHOICE
At Carraig Donn, we care about the environment and our local communities therefore believe we play a major role in protecting it. We are fully committed to reducing our impact on the environment every step of the way and believe that by partnering with eco-friendly brands and using our natural resources wisely we can build a truly sustainable business.
Our commitment to sustainability extends to every area of our operations, including our buying team. Each member of our buying team is dedicated to incorporating sustainable practices into their product selections. They are tasked with prioritizing eco-friendly materials, ethical production methods, and suppliers who share our commitment to environmental responsibility. This ensures that every department from fashion to homewares and jewellery, aligns with our values of sustainability and contributes to a greener future.
We are proud to offer a selection of brands that are committed to sustainability and responsible production across all our departments.
When you see the “ECO CHOICE” badge on any of our Fashion products, we are highlighting that these styles have a sustainable element. From the brand focusing on sustainable practices towards a cleaner textile industry to using eco-friendly fabrics.
We have a number of ‘ECO CHOICE’ Gift & Home products available on the Carraig Donn website and across our stores nationwide. Here you can find blankets that prioritise materials of sustainable origins, candles made from 100% natural resources and products that support marine conservation.
In our Jewellery & Accessories department you will find our ‘ECO CHOICE’ badge on products that are made with at least 75% of recycled materials. This allows us to offer you a range of on trend jewellery while also helping reduce waste and promote recycling in fashion.
As a company we are working hard to continuously improve our packaging, reducing materials where we can or seek alternatives to improve our impact on the environment.
We are striving to ensure that where possible all items of packaging being used within the business are manufactured locally from renewable sustainable resources and are 100% recyclable. Carraig Donn was one of the first retailers in Ireland to make the move from plastic carrier bags to paper and we are very proud to say that both our paper carrier bags & boxes are manufactured in Ireland reducing our carbon footprint. Furthermore, both our carrier bags & boxes are FSC approved meaning they meet gold standard requirements of ethical production. The wood used to make this packaging is harvested from forests that are responsibly managed, socially beneficial, environmentally conscious and economically viable.
Our online mailer bags are also 100% recyclable and are now made from 80% recycled materials. We have gone to great lengths to ensure that all our packaging is 100% recyclable including any fill material and tape used to secure your online order.
