We are committed to reducing, reusing, and recycling as much as possible in our collection efforts. Kpop collecting is not a low environmental impact hobby, but we are committed to lessening our own impact as much as possible while being active in the collecting community.

Shipping Supplies

• All tracked packages are sent in either compostable bubble mailers, cardboard boxes, or previously used bubble mailers (like reusing an Amazon mailer)
• For stamped mail, PC’s are shipped inside of shipping shields or toploaders that are taped inside of an album page or an album postcard.
  • We reuse the envelopes from the Golden Hour albums to ship stamped mail.
• Any bubble wrap or package material that is included has been reused from other packages we received. Sometimes that means it’s not the prettiest, but it is safe and has a lower environmental impact than purchasing new and throwing the already used out.

Freebies

• Anything shipped with our packages is either re-used from the album itself (stickers, tattoos, extra PCs) or designed to have multiple purposes.
• Every GO package includes a thank you card and a business card which can both be used as a binder placeholder card if you flip them over.

Etsy Shop

• We also reuse any excess albums that we cannot find homes for to make new items with a new purpose that atinys can enjoy.
• On our Etsy shop, we sell jewelry made with album paper, notebooks made out of album covers, and ornaments made from different parts of the albums.
• Our goal is to figure out how to repurpose all parts of any excess albums and treat it as raw material instead of waste.
