Sustainability at Maminka

At Maminka, our mission goes beyond creating imaginative and joyful designs for children and families. We are deeply committed to protecting the environment, ensuring that the planet our children inherit is cared for and nurtured.

Sustainability has been one of the core values driving our business from the very beginning. By offering eco-friendly products, we aim to make meaningful choices for families while safeguarding the world we live in.

Materials

We carefully choose every material to ensure the highest environmental standards:

  • Water-Based Inks: All of our inks are water-based, making them non-toxic and free from VOCs (volatile organic compounds). This means our products are safer for your home and the environment while reducing harmful chemical pollution.
  • FSC® Certified Substrates: Our wallpapers are printed on paper and non-woven substrates sourced exclusively from FSC® certified forests, ensuring they come from responsibly managed sources that protect biodiversity and forest sustainability.

Made in the UK

All of our products are proudly designed and manufactured in the UK.

  • This localised production helps us significantly reduce our carbon footprint by minimising the environmental impact of long-distance shipping.
  • By supporting British craftsmanship, we also contribute to sustaining local economies and ethical working practices.

Made-to-Order Model

Our wallpapers are made-to-order, meaning they are only produced when a customer places an order.

  • This approach eliminates the need for excessive stock, reduces paper waste, and allows us to work from a more efficient, smaller production space.
  • This not only minimises waste but also ensures we conserve resources, further reducing our overall environmental impact.

Ethical Partnerships

We work exclusively with a small group of carefully selected suppliers.

  • Our partners are ethical, accredited, and share our vision for sustainability.
  • Their commitment to transparency and responsible practices ensures that every Maminka product reflects our values from start to finish.

Recycling and Waste Reduction

We are committed to minimising waste and promoting recycling at every stage of the production process.

  • Paper offcuts and unused materials are recycled whenever possible, ensuring that nothing goes to waste.
  • We continually seek innovative ways to reduce excess and reuse materials, further contributing to a circular economy.

Our Promise to Future Generations

At Maminka, every decision we make is guided by our commitment to leaving the planet in a better condition for the next generation. By combining creativity with sustainable practices, we hope to inspire families to create spaces filled with love, imagination, and a shared sense of responsibility for our environment.
