Earth (n) /ərTH/ | the planet on which we live; the world.
We have one Earth and at Destira we like to do what we can to help keep our Earth beautiful for us and for the future. Every small change makes a difference when we are able to add them all together.
At Destira, we work to use sustainable packaging and continue to research and implement new packaging and recycling practices to continue to be as sustainable as possible as a company.
- Our polymailers from noissue are made of 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) material which gives waste a second life instead of further contributing to the already large amount of waste in circulation.
- We are conscious and strategic about our choice in packaging for each order to minimize the use of excess material.
- We are a part of the noissue eco-alliance program, which helps plant trees worldwide.
- We practice carbon neutral shipping. By shipping carbon neutral, we are reducing our carbon footprint which is a leading cause of climate change around the world. Learn more about shipping carbon neutral here.
- We use our excess fabric from leotards and unitards to create accessories such as grip bags, scrunchies and doll leotards to minimize fabric waste.
