Sustainability and Material Sourcing Policy

Last updated: 21 July 2026

Merch Story offers products made with bamboo, cork, jute, recycled fabric, plantable paper and other materials commonly selected for lower-impact corporate gifting. Sustainability claims must remain specific, supportable and appropriate to the product.

How Products Are Described

Terms such as recycled, reusable, plantable, bamboo, cork or jute are used for the relevant material or component. “Eco-friendly” does not mean that a product has zero environmental impact.

Supplier Information

Material composition and certifications depend on the manufacturer and product. Where a buyer requires a specific recycled-content percentage, test report or certification, it must be requested before quotation and confirmed for the selected product.

Packaging Choices

Where practical, buyers can request reduced plastic, paper-based inserts, reusable packaging or consolidated bulk packing. Product protection, transport conditions and budget can affect the final packaging method.

Plantable and Natural Materials

Seed-paper germination depends on seed type, storage, climate, soil, water and handling, so germination cannot be guaranteed. Natural bamboo, cork, wood and jute products can vary in grain, texture and shade.

Responsible Selection

We encourage buyers to prioritize useful products, realistic quantities, durable construction, minimal packaging and consolidated delivery. The most sustainable option depends on expected use, material, production and logistics—not on one label alone.
