Conscious Packaging: How We Reduce Waste from Our Workshop
In the world of online commerce, sustainability cannot be an extra: it must be a commitment. At Casa Atlântica, we believe that every decision counts, especially when it comes to the environmental impact of our shipments.
E-commerce generates a large amount of packaging waste, and often these materials—especially plastics—since they are not proper containers, end up in landfills or incinerators.
Our products, mostly ceramics, require special protection during transport. That is why, from the beginning, we have looked for ways to ship safely without relying on plastic.
Our solution: turning used cardboard into eco-friendly filler.
After researching many alternatives, we found an option that allows us to produce our own 100% biodegradable eco-friendly filler directly in the workshop.
It is a machine that transforms used cardboard boxes into a packaging material with high cushioning power, ideal for protecting fragile pieces like ours. This filler can be reused or, alternatively, easily recycled in the blue container, extending its useful life.
In addition, many neighboring businesses bring us their surplus cardboard, helping us feed this small chain of local collaborative economy.

Less waste, more coherence.
For us, minimal packaging is not an aesthetic trend: it is an ethical decision. And although we know that total coherence is difficult, we try to make our actions reflect our values.
And you?
We also invite you to join: buy local, reuse what you already have, support small conscious projects.
Because change starts with small but consistent decisions.
