our values


Nature Groupie believes the products we sell should support people and nature, just like our work in nature-based volunteering. We are committed to working with companies that use fair labor practices and support environmental sustainability. 

Bandanas: 

Our bandanas are printed in Maine at Creation Labs , a family-owned and operated small business. Each bandana was screen printed with 100% water-based ink which minimizes waste and don't contain PVC or Phthalate. 

Clothing:

Our clothing is supplied through Blue84, a Minnesota-based brand with strong corporate values, including fair labor practices and environmental sustainability. Read about Blue84's commitment to social responsibility.

Mugs:

Our enamel mugs are reusable (with a super long life span!) and fully recyclable. With a base ingredient of steel fused with powdered glass, enamel is non-toxic, food-safe and can be recycled most places that accept steel. Our mug is manufactured in China with details created in the U.S. by suppliers compliant with US Fair Labor Act and Workplace Relations Commission Inspection Services.

Water Bottles:

Our insulated water bottles are made by Simple Modern. They are reusable and Simple Modern re-takes bottles at the end of their life and donates or recycles them.

Packaging:

"The packaging industry traditionally has not been the greenest" say the founders of EcoEnclose, but they are changing that! We love ordering all our packing supplies from a company founded with such a strong vision to change the world.
