Perky Pen Sustainability Promise
Gifting should spark joy and protect the planet. At Perky Pen, we craft recycled, plantable, and sustainably sourced products so memories last and waste doesn’t.
Simple Steps to Greener Gifting
From recycled linen paper to plantable seeded cards that grow wildflowers, tomatoes, or spinach—even down to our packaging—we build sustainability into every stage of the process.
Greeting Cards: Recycled & Plantable
Our cards are printed on UK-sourced recycled linen paper or locally made plantable seeded paper. Once enjoyed, the card can be planted to grow wildflowers, supporting pollinators and leaving behind nothing but beauty.
Posters: Sustainable MDF Frames
Our posters use frames crafted from MDF—a composite made from recycled wood scraps and sawdust. This reduces the demand for new timber while providing a clean, durable finish.
Why Sustainable Gifting Matters
Lower Waste
Plantable cards biodegrade fully; recycled stocks reduce landfill and conserve resources.
Support Biodiversity
Wildflower seeds help pollinators—turning memories into habitats.
Smaller Footprint
MDF frames repurpose wood by-products, cutting demand for virgin materials.
Local Partners
Handmade, locally sourced processes reduce transport miles and build community value.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I plant a seeded card?
Tear the card into small pieces, soak for at least an hour, and place in soil. Cover with 1cm of soil, water gently, and keep moist in a sunny spot. Sprouts usually appear in 7–21 days, depending on the season.
Are your papers recyclable and biodegradable?
Yes. Our recycled linen paper is recyclable; our seeded paper biodegrades naturally when planted.
Where are your materials sourced?
We prioritise UK suppliers, local makers, and certified sources wherever possible to minimise transport impact.
