When I started Wildfire, I didn’t just want to sell eco-friendly products—I wanted to create a truly low-waste, sustainable business from the inside out. That includes how we pack and ship every order.

Whether you’re refilling soap or buying a handmade gift, I want you to feel good about every part of your purchase—including what it arrives in.

Here’s how we keep our shipping eco-friendly and plastic-free, and why it matters so much to us.

 

 

 

📦 Eco-Friendly Shipping Materials (What We Use)

 

Every Wildfire order is packed with care using 100% plastic-free packaging:

• Compostable kraft paper tape (no plastic tape here!)
• Recyclable and compostable shipping boxes and mailers
• Paper fill or reused materials instead of bubble wrap or foam
• Paper bags for in-store purchases—never plastic

We also reuse clean, leftover packaging from vendors whenever possible to reduce waste. It may not look Pinterest-perfect, but it keeps materials out of the landfill.

♻️ What Happens When We Receive Plastic?

As a low waste small business, we encourage our suppliers to ship plastic-free, too. But sometimes, plastic still sneaks in. When that happens, we:

• Recycle it properly, not just toss it
• Communicate with suppliers, asking for better packaging practices
• Use what we can to extend the life of materials that have already been created

We’re always pushing for better, not perfect—because progress matters.

 

 

 

🌍 Why Sustainable Packaging Matters

 

More shoppers are Googling “how to ship sustainably” or looking for “eco-friendly packaging ideas”—and for good reason. Traditional packaging is full of waste: plastic wrap, non-recyclable mailers, and materials that take hundreds of years to break down.

At Wildfire, we believe every step of the shopping experience should align with your values—and ours. That’s why we go the extra mile to make sure your order is packed in a way that’s good for you, the planet, and future generations.

 

 

 

🧡 From My Hands to Yours

 

As the owner of a small, eco-conscious business, I pack many of your orders myself. I care deeply about what you receive and how it’s packaged. When you shop at Wildfire, you’re supporting a business that puts people and planet first, always.

Thank you for being part of this movement toward low-waste living. Thank you for choosing sustainable packaging, even when it’s not the easiest or fastest option.

From my hands to yours,

Emily

Owner of Wildfire
