F R E Q U E N T L Y - A S K E D - Q U E S T I O N S
It is extremely important to me that my brand is as ethical and sustainable as possible, aswell as being transparent. Whether it be caring for our planet, or who I buy my materials from, it is important to me that the items I produce are as have a low impact on the environment and the materials I work with come from just sources.
Materials I am proud to say that 70% of the materials I use come from reclaimed sources and which would otherwise be thrown into the bin. Emma Knight Design began as a project working with a reclaimed plastic from a company in County Down, Northern Ireland. Much of the perspex, abs plastics, and resin used today are still reclaimed from the same source. All stone+resin mixed material is also reclaimed from another County Down firm.
Silver Much of the silver I is Eco Silver, made from recycled silver. Any scrap materials stay in the loop, recycled once more. This conscious decision prevents any unnecessary mining of precious metals.
Air carbon footprint Once a year, when traveling to visit family, I fill up a suitcase with a mega stash of supplies to last me the year. This means that the flight carbon footprint of my jewellery is as low as possible.
