Krewe of Krampus

Our Pledge to Sustainability
Past & Ongoing Efforts:
- No plastic beads — since 2015.
- Handcrafted, sustainable throws designed to be kept, not trashed.
- Developed Plass, Krampus Clay, and Gl’ule — results of extensive experimentation with crushed local recycled glass for durable, eco-friendly throws.
- Introduced 100% cast glass doubloons — a modern, sustainable take on the Mardi Gras classic.
- Annual glass collection drive — fans donate glass for next year’s throws.
- Hosted Krafting with Krampus classes, teaching sustainable crafting.
Our Goals for the Coming Year:
- Continue using locally recycled glass in our throws.
- Experiment with locally sourced plant fibers for weaving & pulp art.
- Integrate more upcycled materials, plant-based leather, and eco-friendly glitters into costuming.
- On going experimentation with 3D printing using biodegradable filaments for future throws, props, and costume pieces.
- Establish a Sustainability Committee to ensure accountability and long-term planning.
- Expand community engagement through new sustainable craft initiatives.
