Sustainability
Papermelon weaves eco-conscious decisions into the lifecycle of each piece.
This includes what our product is made from, how and where it was made, and how it continues its life journey. Here’s how we do that.

Paper is one of the few truly sustainable products as it is made from wood. It’s also one of the most recycled products on the planet.Â
Paper for our jewelry and decor is recycled from newspapers, magazines, paper bags, gift wraps, calendars and pamphlets. We obsessively collect them through an amazing network of friends, neighbours and well-wishers.
All supportive beads, cords and silver findings are sourced locally from small home-run businesses.
Our products are packed in beautiful cardboard boxes handcrafted by a talented local artisan. The boxes are reusuable and recyclable.
Recycled crinkle paper is used as packing filler inside the boxes.
Fabric ribbons cut from tailoring waste add the finishing touch to our complementary gift packaging. With their beautiful textures and patterns, they make each package unique.
Address is handwritten on envelopes. (Yes, it’s a bit of work, but we also get to show off our handwriting.)
All products are handcrafted in our little home studio. We use simple hand tools and no machinery in production, which means low energy requirements. We follow a zero waste policy in our studio. We didn't work hard on this, our materials and designs naturally allow this to be possible. We transform everyday objects into efficient work equipments. Old bottles, for example, are upcycled as moulds to make the base of rings and bracelets. Our self-constructed lightbox placed in the balcony with ample sunlight works beautifully for our photographs.

We believe there are little ways to show this earth a lot of love.
We discover and welcome eco-friendly solutions into our business everyday.
All jewelry pieces are coated with an eco friendly sealant to make them sturdy and water resistant.
Just a little love – and it’s sure to last for years to come.
It’s simple – we stand behind the products we create.
If you’re not wholeheartedly satisfied with your order each and every time, we promise to make it right.
