At Curated by The Fifth Design, our dedication to crafting unique, artisanal products for daily use is matched by our commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. We continuously strive to incorporate sustainable materials and processes in the creation of our offerings, taking significant steps to enhance our operational sustainability.

In 2021, we made a pivotal move by adopting Camphor Laurel wood for the production of all our chopping boards. Sourced from Queensland, Australia, where our operations are based, Camphor Laurel is identified as a weed, making it an exceptionally sustainable choice for harvesting. Its status as an invasive species in Queensland's ecosystem means that its utilization not only mitigates ecological harm but also contributes positively to the local environment.

Further aligning our practices with sustainability, we relocated our warehouse to be just a 10-minute drive from the site where our Camphor Laurel boards are crafted. This collaboration with Fab Slabs, a local enterprise that both harvests the wood and manufactures our boards, underscores our commitment to sustainability. Camphor Laurel's durability ensures the longevity of our products, offering you both quality and the assurance of eco-friendly manufacturing.

Choosing Curated by The Fifth Design signifies an appreciation for aesthetically pleasing, everyday home products and a conscious decision to support environmentally responsible practices. Our sustainability promise rests on three core pillars:

- Sustainable Harvesting: Our preference for Camphor Laurel underscores our commitment to utilizing one of the most sustainably harvested woods available.

- Limited Emissions: By situating our operations close to our material sources, we significantly reduce the emissions associated with our business activities.

- Local Support: We actively support local mills, suppliers, and vendors, reinforcing our belief in the critical role of local businesses in our community.

Our warehouse operates on a green energy model, focusing on reducing, reusing, and recycling. From business cards to thank you notes, all our paper materials are recycled. Our commitment to sustainability extends to using carbon-neutral postal services and maximizing the reuse of cardboard and wrapping materials to minimize waste.

At Curated by The Fifth Design, our dream is to achieve complete eco-friendliness and sustainability. Our product range and production processes are continually evolving to align with this vision. As we progress, some products may be discontinued to make way for new, guilt-free, handcrafted items. Supporting Curated by The Fifth Design means being part of a journey towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.
