At Devon Duvets, sustainability is not just a buzzword; it's a core value that guides everything we do. We are excited to announce our latest initiative in sustainable bedding packaging: new, eco-friendly packaging for our products. This initiative aligns with our commitment to reducing our environmental impact and promoting sustainable alternatives.
A Journey Rooted in Sustainability
Our journey towards sustainable packaging started over 15 years ago when we launched the UK's first-ever individually handcrafted 100% British wool duvet. Since then, we have continually sought ways to minimize our business' carbon footprint and contribute positively to the environment.
The New Packaging
Our new packaging solutions are designed to be both eco-friendly and practical. Each product is sealed in a clear, recyclable hygiene bag and then placed in a handcrafted cotton calico bag with a drawstring closure, all made in our Devon workshop. This reusable packaging is not only eco-friendly but also versatile for multiple uses.
Why Sustainable Packaging Matters to Us
1. Eco-Friendly Practices:
Our new packaging solutions are designed to be both eco-friendly and practical. Each product is sealed in a clear, recyclable hygiene bag and then placed in a handcrafted cotton calico bag with a drawstring closure, all made in our Devon workshop. This reusable packaging is not only eco-friendly but also versatile for multiple uses.
2. Handcrafted with Care:
Each cotton calico bag is handcrafted by our skilled seamstresses, ensuring the same level of care and quality that goes into our products. This approach not only supports local artisans but also emphasises the importance of quality and sustainability.
3. Multi-purpose and Washable:
Designed for reuse, our cotton bags can be repurposed in countless ways, reducing waste and enhancing utility. This makes them an eco-friendly solution that extends their life beyond their initial use.
The Benefits of Eco-Friendly Packaging
Eco-friendly packaging has numerous benefits, including reducing plastic pollution and promoting a circular economy. By opting for sustainable alternatives, we can save resources and minimize waste. Our commitment to using recyclable and biodegradable materials ensures that our packaging is both environmentally friendly and effective.

Addressing Common Questions
What packaging is the most environmentally friendly?
The most environmentally friendly packaging is typically made from biodegradable, recyclable, or compostable materials. These materials are designed to reduce waste and pollution, making them ideal for eco friendly packaging solutions. At Devon Duvets, our cotton calico bags and recyclable hygiene bags are excellent examples of sustainable packaging solutions. These eco friendly alternatives not only protect the environment but also provide reusable packaging options for our consumers.
What is the aim of sustainable packaging?
The aim of sustainable packaging is to reduce environmental impact by using materials that are recyclable, biodegradable, or compostable, and by promoting practices that minimise waste and pollution. Sustainable packaging is designed to reduce the carbon footprint of production and to contribute to a circular economy, where materials are reused and recycled. This approach helps to recycle and save resources and reduce plastic waste, supporting a more sustainable world.
How do you know if packaging is sustainable?
Packaging is considered sustainable if it is made from eco friendly materials, reduces waste, and can be recycled or composted. Sustainable packaging often includes labels indicating that it is made from recyclable material or compostable materials. At Devon Duvets, our packaging meets these criteria, making it a suitable choice for environmentally conscious consumers. We use raw materials that are eco friendly, ensuring our packaging has a minimal environmental impact.
Our Commitment to Continuous Improvement
While our current clear bags are recyclable, we are actively researching biodegradable options to further reduce our environmental impact. We believe in transparency and are committed to finding the best sustainable alternatives that align with our sustainability goals. This includes exploring compostable materials and reducing single use plastics in our packaging solutions. Our goal is to offer customers an eco friendly solution that not only protects our products but also supports the planet.
Supporting Local and Sustainable Practices
By choosing our products, you support local craftsmanship and eco-conscious packaging solutions. Our new packaging is a testament to our ongoing commitment to sustainability, quality, and hygiene. We aim to reduce our carbon footprint by using materials that are recyclable and compostable, contributing to a positive impact on the environment. This initiative supports small businesses and promotes eco friendly practices within the industry.
Looking Towards the Future
We are excited to roll out this new packaging and will share photographs and a launch date as soon as we have a confirmed timeline. Our commitment to using eco friendly packaging solutions reflects our dedication to sustainability and our desire to create a better future for the planet.
Our Journey to Sustainability
Our new eco friendly packaging is a significant step forward in our sustainability journey. By reducing plastic waste and promoting the use of recyclable and compostable materials, we aim to make a positive impact on the environment. This initiative aligns with our long-term sustainability goals and demonstrates our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint. Thank you for supporting Devon Duvets and our commitment to sustainability. Together, we can contribute to a healthier planet and a more sustainable future.
