We are continuously striving to improve our systems and processes, to design 'out' waste and find a new purpose for any material that we no longer need.

For many years our creative director Ella Doran has been an advocate of the circular economy. You can read more about her and her projects at elladorandesigner 

If you buy from us on line, you will know we re-use our packaging as much as possible, and we encourage all of our customers to continue the chain and keep materials in use.

We strive to use materials that are long lasting and age well, along with sourcing materials that are already in their second life or third life when possible.

We offer a 'take back' service with our made to measure roller blinds, we will take back your old ones to ensure the components can be re0used or recycled. Please email us if you would like more information here.

We re-use all of our end-of-line fabrics and wallpapers for workshops & events, and when possible, we make new products.

If you would like to order any of our wallpaper or fabric offcuts, please email us at info@elladoran.co.uk 

 

Our aims:

  -   To create products that will last a life time, and to encourage circular design principles, and re-using, before resorting to re-cycling

-     To be transparent and clear about the materials we use and what to do at the end of life of the product

-     To minimise the possible effects on human health and the environment arising from the activities of our company

-    To efficiently use energy and any raw materials in order to protect our natural resources

-     All of our wallpapers that we produce are FSC certified. And we donate to https://treesisters.org/ 1% of every sale of our wallpapers to them.

‘TreeSisters exists to elicit collective responsibility for planetary restoration at the grass roots level with a focus on women and tropical reforestation’

-     We promote the circular economy through all of our suppliers encouraging them to adapt and develop systems that minimise waste and increase re-use of their ‘waste’ materials

-     We encourage you and all of our customers and colleagues to 'think' globally and 'act' locally' as much as possible
