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.
