We’re new here. And we’re doing it right.
Alpaca Avenue is a brand in its early days and that's exactly why sustainability isn't an afterthought. We've built it in from the start, choosing partners who take it as seriously as we do.
Recycled materials
Our prints are made on sustainably sourced paper, printed with water-based, toxin-free inks kinder to the planet without compromising quality.
Local fulfilment
Prodigi routes every order to the print facility closest to you shorter distances, lower emissions, faster delivery.
Ethical sourcing
We work with Prodigi, who source paper from sustainably managed forests and avoid plastic across their supply chain wherever possible.
Minimal packaging
Prodigi have eliminated shrink wrap entirely and developed Ecocaps their own compostable, plastic-free packaging for rolled prints.
HOW WE DESIGN
Nothing is made until you order it
Every design is created digitally and only printed when you buy it. That means zero overstock, zero waste sitting in a warehouse. It's one of the simplest and most honest things a product brand can do so it was our first decision.
HOW WE PRODUCE
Printed close to you, on better materials
We partner with Prodigi for all our print fulfilment a supplier committed to local production networks across the UK and beyond. Prints are made near you, cutting transport emissions.
Where possible, recycled and FSC-certified papers are used as standard. We'll always look for partners who can demonstrate this not just claim it.
HOW WE SHIP
Packaging that doesn't cost the earth
Orders arrive in minimal, recyclable packaging no unnecessary fillers, no single-use plastics. Because an alpaca wouldn't stand for it, and neither would we.
Our print partner: Prodigi
Prodigi's global fulfilment network means your print is made as close to you as possible, using ethically sourced materials and energy-conscious production methods.
SDG 12
Responsible Consumption & Production
Print on demand eliminates overproduction entirely. We make what's ordered nothing more.
SDG 13
Climate Action
Local fulfilment through Prodigi reduces shipping distances. Less travel means fewer emissions per order.
SDG 17
Partnerships for the Goals
Prodigi have eliminated shrink wrap entirely and developed Ecocaps their own compostable, plastic-free packaging for rolled prints.
WHAT WE'RE STILL FIGURING OUT
Honest about where we are
We don't have carbon offset schemes or sustainability reports yet we're a new brand and we won't pretend otherwise.
What we do have is a commitment: every supplier or partner we add to Alpaca Avenue will be evaluated against whether they're moving in the right direction. We'd rather be transparent about that than make promises we can't back up.
