We use recycled boxes & padded envelopes that are made with recycled newspapers to ship your orders, & we minimize plastic packaging at all costs. Our business cards, thank you cards, & printed materials are created with soy-based ink on FSC-Certified recycled paper. in addition to the measures we take at Empower Malas, Etsy offsets 100% of carbon emissions from shipping by funding verified emissions reduction projects through 3Degrees. "These investments support environmental projects, such as protecting forests that improve air quality & absorb carbon, sponsoring wind & solar farms that generate clean energy & replace fossil fuels, & developing greener methods for producing auto parts." (Etsy, https://www.etsy.com/impact) All mala & jewelry creations are handcrafted in & shipped from our Kaneohe, Hawaii-based studio. Our studio is smoke-free & pieces are stored in a climate-controlled environment to minimize allergens & tarnish to the materials. Please note that we do use many vintage metal findings & components in our designs, so some natural tarnish, patina & wear is present that adds to their beautifully unique character. Natural fractures do occur within certain gemstones, & this is not indicative of damage but is a characteristic of natural (non-synthetic) stones. We do our best to represent these characteristics in our photos as accurately as possible. Shiva Divine Masculine Mala Beads 108 Necklace Japa Black Natural Lava For Yoga + Meditation Ethical
