At Pangolins, every product begins with a question: not only is it beautiful, but is it responsible?
As an eco-friendly gifting destination, we have always carefully selected pieces based on their materials, craftsmanship, and environmental impact. But we also know that for our customers, understanding those choices should be simple, transparent, and meaningful.
That is why we are proud to introduce the Pangolins Eco Rating™ — a new way to help you make more informed, sustainable choices with confidence.
What is Eco Rating™?
Eco Rating™ is our own sustainability scoring system, designed to assess the environmental impact of every product we offer.
Each item is carefully evaluated across several key areas, including:
- the sustainability of materials used
- durability and expected lifespan
- packaging and plastic reduction
- production methods and craftsmanship
- overall environmental impact compared to conventional alternatives
This allows us to provide a clear, consistent sustainability score for each product, helping you choose eco-friendly gifts with greater clarity and trust.
You will now see the Eco Rating™ displayed on our product pages, offering an immediate and transparent view of each item’s environmental credentials.
Why we created Eco Rating™
Sustainability claims can often feel unclear or inconsistent. Terms like “eco-friendly” and “sustainable” are widely used, but their true meaning can vary.
We created Eco Rating™ to bring greater transparency and accountability to our collection.
Rather than relying on broad claims, we assess each product holistically — recognising that sustainability is not defined by a single factor, but by the complete lifecycle of a product, from material sourcing to long-term use.
Our goal is to empower you to make choices that align with your values, without compromising on quality, beauty, or meaning.
Supporting more sustainable choices
Many of the products we offer are made from sustainable and eco-friendly materials such as natural sisal, organic cotton, recycled fibres, and biodegradable alternatives to conventional plastics.
Others are handmade by artisan makers using traditional techniques that support skilled craftsmanship and reduce reliance on industrial production.
Durability is also central to sustainability. Products designed to last for many years reduce waste and environmental impact over time — a principle that sits at the heart of everything we curate.
Eco Rating™ reflects these values, helping highlight pieces that offer both lasting quality and environmental responsibility.
A commitment to progress, not perfection
Sustainability is not a fixed destination. It is a continuous process of learning, improvement, and responsibility.
Eco Rating™ allows us to:
- assess products consistently and transparently
- work with suppliers to reduce environmental impact further
- encourage the use of recycled, biodegradable, and natural materials
- continually improve the sustainability of our collection
It also reflects our belief that even small, conscious choices can contribute to meaningful change over time.
Supporting a wider purpose
Pangolins was created not only to offer eco-friendly gifts, but to raise awareness of the natural world and the extraordinary species we share it with.
Pangolins themselves are the most trafficked mammals on Earth, yet they remain among the least known.
Through our partnership with The Pangolin Project and our continued commitment to responsible sourcing, we aim to help protect these remarkable animals and the ecosystems they depend on.
Eco Rating™ is one part of that wider mission — helping make sustainability visible, understandable, and actionable.
Choosing differently
Every product represents a choice.
A choice about materials.
A choice about longevity.
A choice about impact.
With Eco Rating™, we hope to make those choices clearer.
By choosing eco-friendly, sustainable gifts, you are helping support responsible production, reduce environmental impact, and protect the natural world.
And together, those choices matter.
