Earth Day: Eco-Friendly Packaging in Our Jewellery Business

In the glittering world of jewellery, where beauty often takes precedence, it's easy to overlook the environmental impact of packaging. However, at Gold Reserves, sustainability isn't just a trend – it's a commitment we hold dear. We believe that every aspect of our business, from the vintage and pre-owned jewellery we love to share to the packaging they come in, should reflect our dedication to the planet. That's why we've carefully curated eco-friendly packaging solutions for both our in-store and online operations.

In-Store Sustainability: Cardboard Boxes for Vintage Silver Jewellery

Step into our store, and you'll notice our enchanting vintage silver jewellery displayed with care – not just for their elegance but also for the environment. We've opted for cardboard boxes to house these timeless treasures. Why cardboard, you ask? It's simple yet effective. 

  1. Renewable Resource: Cardboard is primarily made from recycled paper, which means fewer trees are felled for its production.
  1. Recyclable: After serving its purpose, our cardboard boxes can be easily recycled, minimising their environmental footprint.
  1. Biodegradable: Should a box find its way into nature, it will naturally decompose without harming the environment.

Online Orders: Paper Padded Envelopes and Recycled Mailers

For our online customers, receiving their coveted pieces of jewellery is an exciting moment – and we ensure it's also an environmentally responsible one. We've chosen recyclable paper padded envelopes and recycled mailers from No Issue for shipping our treasures across the globe. Here's why:

  1. Paper Padded Envelopes: These envelopes offer protection without guilt. Made from recycled paper, they're sturdy enough to safeguard our delicate jewellery during transit.
  1. Recycled Mailers: Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the contents of the package. Our recycled mailers are crafted from post-consumer waste, giving new life to materials that would otherwise end up in landfills.


Waste Reduction: Recycling in Our Stores

Sustainability isn't just about the materials we use – it's also about how we manage our waste. At Gold Reserves, we're proud to say that we've implemented robust recycling practices in all our stores with help from the market. From paper and cardboard to plastic and cans/glass, we ensure that every recyclable material is given a second chance.

By recycling our waste, we're not just minimising our environmental impact – we're also setting an example for our community and industry peers. We firmly believe that small actions can lead to significant change, and we're committed to doing our part.
