Each Milly Dent piece is inspired by the natural world and strongly influenced by the Sydney coastline and ocean. As such, we try our best to be as sustainable as possible in both our practice and studio.
CLAY
Sustainability
Everything is made to order. We don't run large batches or stockpile inventory, production matches demand, not the other way around. Less waste at the source.
Clay
Our porcelain is sourced from Australian suppliers and made and distributed out of Melbourne, Victoria.
Offcuts and chipped pieces don't go in the bin. They're broken down into tile-sized pieces and used in mosaic work, lighting, and furniture.
Clay traps are installed in the studio, so no clay or glaze reaches the waterways. Firing releases no toxic compounds.
PACKAGING & SHIPPING
All packing materials are eco-friendly and compostable, including eco bubble wrap and packing peanuts. From time to time we also reuse recycled bubble wrap and other packing materials collected from the public. Ceramics are protected with Biofill, a corn starch based filler that breaks down naturally. Boxes are noncoated and 100% recyclable.
Every order ships carbon neutral through Australia Post's Mypost Business program.
