At Charles & Ivy, we believe style and sustainability can grow side by side. As we design and deliver elegant decorative screens, planters, fencing and more; we’re constantly finding new ways to reduce our environmental impact.
Here are four key ways we’re striving to make our brand more environmentally conscious.
Wildlife Consideration Hedgehog Highway
One issue that many species face is limited access to natural habitats. Our fencing can be installed with wildlife in mind, including dedicated hedgehog holes to help these endangered creatures roam freely between gardens. Small gestures like these can make a big difference in supporting local biodiversity.
As well as providing passageways for wildlife, purchasing our composite fences can do wonders for the environment. You don’t need to paint, stain, or varnish composite wood, all of which leak damaging chemicals into the ground, thus causing harm to animals’ habitats.
We’re determined to carry on taking wildlife into consideration by creating wild-life friendly garden solutions, join us in supporting the habitat of our little friends.
Sustainable Delivery Practices
With our own fleet of delivery vans, we can carefully plan routes to reduce fuel use. We aim to optimise route planning, ensuring we can plan delivery routes efficiently, reducing miles driven and fuel used. This results in fewer emissions and less congestion.
Our packaging is purposefully chosen to minimise waste and environmental impact. Our in-house delivery allows better control over how products are packed and our packaging is recyclable, minimal, reusable and transported efficiently.
Every step of the journey - from our warehouse to your garden - is designed with the planet in mind. At Charles and Ivy we don’t just aim to deliver products, but sustainability too.
Recycled Materials
Our composite screening and decorative panels are made using recycled plastics and sustainably sourced wood fibres. We aim to repurpose waste materials, giving them a second life in a durable product.
The result? Beautiful, durable materials that help prevent plastic waste from ending up in landfills or oceans. The longevity means our products don’t need to be replaced often, reducing consumption and waste over time.
Bespoke made to measure to reduce waste
Mass production often means excess. That’s why Charles & Ivy products are made to measure whenever possible - so you get exactly what you need and nothing more. We offer bespoke sizing across all products encouraging mindful production.
Custom sizing reduces offcuts and landfill waste, while ensuring a perfect fit for your space. Smart design, less waste, and a cleaner conscience. Built to last and environmentally considerate, our products' longevity minimises the need for replacements, reducing waste.
Caring for the environment is rooted in everything we do. From creating safe spaces for wildlife to reducing emissions with smarter delivery, we’re committed to making greener choices that grow with your garden.
