It is imperative for businesses to adopt sustainable practices in today's world, where environmental concerns have taken center stage. Our company understands the importance of minimizing waste and has made a firm commitment to take steps towards being zero-waste. Here are some ways we are actively contributing to a more eco-friendly world.

• Optimized patterns

Our patterns are meticulously designed, taking into account the precise limits of our rollers, in order to optimize every square inch with utmost precision and efficiency. Through thoughtful consideration of roller capabilities, we ensure the most optimal and finely tuned patterns in our designs.

• Keeping and reusing fabric scraps

We diligently save and retain fabric scraps, while also remaining vigilant in our search for smaller pieces that we previously used, as we believe in minimizing waste and utilizing every available resource to its fullest potential. By being resourceful and attentive, we maximize the value of each material and strive for sustainable practices in our operations. Furthermore, our commitment to sustainability extends to our product creation as well. By ingeniously crafting designs that utilize our fabric scraps, we transform remnants into unique and eco-friendly products such as our scrunchies, lavender bags, birthday hats and crowns, that embody both style and resourcefulness.

• Zero waste collabs

We foster collaboration by partnering with talented designers who possess the expertise to transform our fabric scraps into creations such as Magalie Robidaire, who uses them exquisitely. Through these collaborations, we expand the possibilities of repurposing materials, resulting in innovative and collaborative designs that merge creativity and sustainability.

• Encouraging other artists to reuse

Confetti Mill supports fellow artists and craftspeople by donating our fabric scraps, enriching their creative endeavors and enhancing the value of their work. By sharing these resources, we aim to foster a community of collaboration and empowerment, where each piece of fabric finds new life in the hands of talented individuals. If we can’t do anything with our fabric scraps, we give it to Atelier Retailles, which makes handmade paper with it.

The Importance of Avoiding Waste

Beyond the specific steps we take to achieve zero waste, it is crucial to understand the overarching importance of avoiding waste in all aspects of life. Waste not only depletes our natural resources but also contributes to pollution and environmental degradation. By embracing a zero-waste mindset, we can preserve our planet's delicate ecosystem and pave the way for a sustainable future.
