A Sustainable Option
Homegrown Wrappings is committed to gifting without needless waste. I put in the work to repair, renovate, and sanitize each piece of "junk" and send it off to a new home, continuing its tangible adventure.
No one-person can save the world, but we can all do a little better. If you are ready to send a gift that holds sustainability in its heart, click below!
The Circular Economy
Homegrown Wrappings is a member of Plant Chicago's Circular Economy Leadership Network, which means I have connected with managers, owners, and creatives in a number of industries in the Chicagoland area.
While the physical storefront was operational in Rogers Park, I provided earth-friendly waste streams for hard to recycle items, including wine corks, #6 plastic rigid cups, and certain office/art supplies.
See below for other great resources to expand your recycling efforts!
