Sustainable Style: Eco-Friendly & Recycled Products at WerkShoppe

At WerkShoppe, we believe that art and sustainability go hand in hand. That’s why many of our products are crafted with eco-friendly materials and thoughtful design, ensuring you can shop with both style and sustainability in mind (even our packaging is made from recycled materials when possible!) From recycled paper notebooks to microfiber towels that reduce waste, each item in our collection is a small step toward a greener planet.  Let’s take a closer look at the sustainable qualities of some of our most-loved products.

Microfiber Towels: Durable & Waste-Reducing

Our microfiber kitchen towels are not only beautifully designed but also an eco-friendly alternative to disposable paper towels– each one is made from 6 recycled plastic bottles! Even the packaging is printed on recycled paper. Highly absorbent and quick-drying, these towels help reduce paper waste and minimize your household’s environmental footprint. Looking for a microfiber towel set? Our all purpose towels come in a set of 4 and are made from an optimized microfiber material blend produced from 8 recycled plastic water bottles. Made with durable materials that last through countless washes, our microfiber towels offer a reusable, sustainable solution for everyday cleaning while adding a touch of artistry to your space. 

Scrubbie Sets: Reusable & Recycled Cleaning Power

In addition to our eco-friendly kitchen textiles, WerkShoppe offers a Microfiber Scrubbie Pad Set, a sustainable solution for your dishwashing needs. This set includes four dual-sided scrubbies featuring 2 vibrant coordinating designs. Each scrubbie combines a non-abrasive microfiber waffle weave on one side, safe for cleaning delicate surfaces like non-stick cookware and glass, with a heavy-duty scrubbing material on the other to tackle tougher grime. Crafted from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET), these scrubbies are reusable, durable, and machine washable, reducing the need for disposable sponges and minimizing household waste. 

Dish Drying Mats: Eco-Friendly Protection for Your Kitchen

Enhance your kitchen's sustainability with WerkShoppe's dish drying mats, designed to combine functionality with environmental responsibility. Each set includes two coordinating designs that add a vibrant touch to your countertop while providing a practical solution for drying dishes and protecting surfaces.

Crafted from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET), these mats repurpose plastic waste into durable, reusable kitchen accessories. The high-performance waffle weave fabric is ultra-absorbent, soaking up moisture efficiently, and dries five times faster than traditional cotton, reducing the risk of mold and mildew. Additionally, the cushioned material safeguards delicate glassware and dishes from damage. Easy to fold and store, these machine-washable dish drying mats offer a sustainable and stylish alternative to disposable drying solutions.

Notebooks & Notepads: Recycled Paper for Thoughtful Writing

Putting pen to paper feels even better when you know your notebook or notepad is made with recycled materials that are sustainably sourced. WerkShoppe’s notebooks and notepads are printed on high-quality FSC recycled paper, reducing the need for virgin paper production and helping conserve natural resources. Whether you’re jotting down ideas, making lists, or sketching creative concepts, our eco-conscious stationery supports sustainable practices while bringing artistic inspiration to your daily routine.

Puzzles: Mindful Entertainment with Recycled Materials

Puzzles are a great way to relax, and when they’re made with sustainability in mind, they’re even better! WerkShoppe’s artful puzzles are produced using 95% recycled paper and non-toxic vegetable-based inks, ensuring minimal environmental impact without compromising on quality. By choosing puzzles made from post-consumer recycled materials, you’re not only enjoying a creative pastime but also contributing to a more sustainable future.

Caftans & Halftans: Ethical & Sustainable Fashion

Our eco-friendly beach & pool coverups are more than just wearable art—they’re also made with sustainability in mind and are crafted from post-consumer recycled materials– 95% rPET polyester, to be exact.  These stylish and comfortable garments are designed for longevity, reducing the cycle of fast fashion waste. With their timeless appeal and versatile wearability, WerkShoppe caftans offer a conscious fashion choice for those who appreciate both art and ethical production.

Go Big Towels: Sustainable Comfort for Everyday Use

WerkShoppe’s oversized microfiber beach & pool towels bring artful design to your beach days, poolside lounging, and self-care routines while prioritizing eco-conscious production. Each towel is made from 22 recycled plastic water bottles and designed to last, these towels provide a stylish yet responsible way to enjoy comfort without excess waste. Their durable construction ensures they stay soft and vibrant over time, making them a smart investment in both quality and sustainability.

Understanding rPET and FSC Recycled Materials

Sustainability is all about making conscious choices, and two key materials that help reduce environmental impact are rPET and FSC recycled materials.

• rPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate): This material is created by recycling plastic bottles and repurposing them into new products, such as fabrics and textiles. By using rPET, we help reduce plastic waste in landfills and oceans while giving new life to materials that would otherwise go to waste.

• FSC Recycled Materials: The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification ensures that paper and wood products come from responsibly managed forests or are made from post-consumer recycled materials. This means fewer trees are cut down unnecessarily, helping to protect forests and wildlife habitats while promoting sustainable sourcing.

By choosing products made with rPET and FSC recycled materials, you're supporting a circular economy that reduces waste and conserves natural resources.
