PEOPLE + PLANET

Did you know that this year alone, 4.6 million tonnes of plastic waste have been dumped into our oceans globally? Or that a staggering 24.69 million square kilometers of plastic soup are floating out there in the big blue? Every year, we generate a massive 2.12 billion tons of waste. If all this waste were loaded onto trucks, they would circle the Earth 24 times.

We don’t want to add to that! Here at IndigoMuse, we’re deeply committed to our planet. That’s why we’ve pledged to reduce the waste that ends up in our landfills and oceans.

WANT TO KNOW HOW?

Here’s what we’re doing to lower our footprint and help keep the planet clean for everyone.

SHIPPING BAGS

Our shipping bags are 100% biodegradable! You can actually pop your shipping bag into your compost, where it will completely break down within 3-6 months. They even work in worm farms! These black bags are made from cornstarch, PLA (Polylactide, made from waste corn and other plants), and PBAT (Polybutyrate Adipate Terephthalate), which fully biodegrade without leaving toxic residue. We know they’re not the cutest, but we think helping save the planet is super sexy.

RECYCLED PACKAGING MATERIALS

We understand the excitement of unboxing a new item. There’s nothing like that “ooo” and “ahhh” moment when you unwrap a special gift to yourself. But we’re also aware that most packaging ends up in the trash. That’s why we’ve ensured that all the packaging you receive is recyclable and made from recycled materials. Our care guides, product cards, thank you cards, and boxes are all made from recycled content and can go straight into your recycling bin.

REUSABLE ORGANIC COTTON BAGS

When you order a necklace, it comes in a beautiful drawstring bag that’s hand-sewn from organic cotton. We purposely leave our logo off these bags so you can reuse them over and over!

WHOLESALE ORDERS

All our wholesale orders are packaged without plastic! Imagine receiving a wholesale order without tons of plastic to throw out. Instead, we use packing peanuts made from cornstarch that dissolve completely in water.

PVD PLATING

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a cutting-edge, eco-friendly plating process that is not only durable but also better for the environment. Unlike traditional plating methods, PVD doesn’t produce harmful chemicals or waste. It uses less energy and fewer raw materials while providing a long-lasting, high-quality finish. By choosing PVD-plated jewelry, you’re opting for a sustainable, non-toxic alternative that stands the test of time—keeping both your jewelry and the planet beautiful.

RECYCLED PLASTIC JEWELRY BAGS

We also use plastic jewelry bags that are made from recycled plastic. These bags are reusable, waterproof, and keep your jewelry protected from scratching and wear. They ensure your jewelry arrives in perfect condition and can be reused to store your items for years to come.

At IndigoMuse, we believe it’s vital, both as a business and as individuals, to do our part for the planet. It’s our home, and it’s time we start cleaning up the mess we’ve made.

Peace and love, folks!
