Our steps to sustainability
The beauty of being a wallpaper design brand is that we have a simple and traceable supply chain from wood to wall. We are passionate and committed to being a brand that walks the walk when it comes to being sustainable, so here’s how we keep our planet and people front of mind at each step of the journey.
Transportation and storage
We source our paper from suppliers in Europe and the UK, and we’re very efficient with purchasing: we only order what we need, which helps reduce the weight and number of deliveries. We don't need to store stock since we print our wallpaper and murals to order, so we waste very little paper and don’t use excess energy on storage facilities.
Hovia HQ, where the magic happens
The Hovia team are lucky to work from a beautiful industrial building that has been completely renovated to be energy-efficient and environmentally sound. We use 100% renewable energy throughout the building, even to power our website servers, and our factory space has been specially arranged to allow our production team to work safely, smartly, and efficiently.
Bringing design and paper together
Our designs come to life when they’re printed, so we take great care when selecting our materials to ensure we’re creating beautiful wallpaper in a conscious way. Our three paper types conform to high standards of quality, safety, and sustainability criteria, so are only ever from good stock. Our inks and toners are non-toxic, odourless, and non-flammable, which means they’re super safe for use in your home. Our quality team meticulously inspects each wallpaper, so you can rest easy knowing your decorating vision is in good hands. Learn more about our Paper Types.
Conscious couriers
We’re aware that the distribution of our products is our largest carbon contributor, so we’re working with climate-conscious couriers to offset our emissions in a responsible way. We invest in recognised climate protection projects that address carbon emissions through avoidance worldwide. This means we can get your wallpaper to you quickly, securely, and sustainably.
Home sweet home
Your wallpaper has arrived safe and sound! You’ll see from our installation guides that there is very little waste paper as it’s designed and printed to fit your wall and your wall only. So sit back and enjoy your masterpiece, knowing you’ve chosen a unique planet-friendly product created and delivered consciously.
