Sustainability at HertForge

At HertForge, we're passionate about crafting high-quality, creative products while caring for the environment. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and our approach reflects our commitment to reducing waste and promoting eco-friendly practices.

Eco-Friendly Materials

The primary material we use, PLA (Polylactic Acid), is derived from renewable plant sources such as corn starch and sugarcane. Unlike traditional plastics made from petroleum, PLA is a biodegradable and compostable material under industrial conditions, making it a more sustainable alternative. By choosing PLA, we ensure that our creations are not only durable and functional but also kinder to the planet.

Why PLA is a Sustainable Choice:

  • Made from renewable, plant-based resources.
  • Lower carbon footprint compared to petroleum-based plastics.
  • Biodegradable under industrial composting conditions.

Made-to-Order Production

Every HertForge product is made to order. This means we only produce what's needed, reducing waste and minimising overproduction. By embracing on-demand manufacturing, we avoid creating surplus stock that might otherwise go to waste. This approach allows us to offer a range of unique, custom-made products while maintaining an eco-conscious production process.

Benefits of Made-to-Order:

  • Reduced material waste.
  • No unsold inventory ending up in landfills.
  • Personalised creations crafted specifically for you.

Crafting for the Future

3D printing itself is an innovative and sustainable production method. Unlike traditional manufacturing, which often involves cutting away excess material, 3D printing builds products layer by layer, using only the material required. This efficiency not only conserves resources but also allows us to explore creative and functional designs without compromise.

Our Promise

At HertForge, we're always striving to improve our processes and explore new ways to reduce our environmental impact. By choosing HertForge, you're not only investing in unique, made-to-order products but also supporting a brand that values creativity and sustainability equally.

Together, we can make choices that inspire joy and preserve our planet for future generations.
