At The Stripey Caterpillar, we believe that conservation starts with the choices we make every day. From the materials we use to the way we operate, we are committed to running our business in a way that protects nature, minimizes waste, and supports ethical practices.

Our promise: Every product, experience, and initiative we offer is designed with sustainability and conservation in mind.

  • Eco-Friendly Products & Packaging

    We have tried to carefully select materials that are biodegradable, plastic-free, and sustainably sourced.

    • Caterpillar Kits & Packaging – Still in the works, but we are currently sourcing compostable and recyclable materials, eco-friendly inks, and biodegradable stickers. No unnecessary plastic, ever!
    • Merchandise – Wherever possible, our products are sourced from local suppliers with ethical and sustainable practices, just like us.
    • Minimal Waste – We produce small batches of products to prevent overproduction and unnecessary waste.

  • Ethical & Responsible Business Practices

    Being a youth-led conservation business, we strive to ensure that our practices align with the mission we stand for.

    • No Greenwashing – We are transparent about our materials, suppliers, and efforts to improve. If you have questions, just ask! We really love to chat.
    • Local & Global Impact – We support both local butterfly conservation efforts and global education initiatives.
    • Fair Partnerships – If we ever get to the stage where we can work with artists, suppliers, and conservation groups, we will ensure they are ethically paid and fairly treated.

Butterflies, Nature & Wellbeing

Connecting with nature isn’t just good for butterflies, it’s good for us too! Spending time in natural spaces, watching butterflies, and growing a butterfly-friendly garden can bring peace, satisfaction, and a sense of purpose.

  • Butterflies & Mental Health – Studies show that engaging with wildlife and nature can reduce stress and boost happiness.
  • Bringing Joy Through Conservation – Whether it’s witnessing a butterfly’s first flight or growing a flower from seed, these small moments make a big impact.
  • A Community of Nature-Lovers – The Stripey Caterpillar is more than a business. It’s a movement built around inspiration, education, and meaningful connections.
