FAQ Answered by Beans

Do you sell on Etsy?

Yes, I do. But Etsy has high fees, so I have to increase my prices there. I also have begun selling on Goimagine as an alternative. However, I do not offer all of my products on these sites. Your best shopping experience will be here on my website.

Do you have a Twitter?

Yes, I have a Twitter account, but it is inactive. Twitter has become a very toxic and unpredictable space, and I prefer to post my frequent updates on Bluesky instead.

Eco Efforts

Paper Packaging?

When starting this business, Beans had to ask how best to minimize their environmental footprint.

After many deep dives, 'e has decided to prioritize recycling over other forms of the end-of-life stage. While not everyone can compost at home or drive to a facility, the majority of Americans have access to curbside recycling. This means that with our current infrastructure, more consumers are likely to reduce packaging waste through recycling. Plastic is a no-go due to its low rate of actually being recycled and its harm to the environment. For these reasons, Beans has chosen to use recyclable paper packaging as the base for all goods shipped from home.

Transparency:

There's no need to hide supplies like trade secrets. Being transparent gives everyone a chance to be more conscious about their environmental impact. Want to know more or use these resources yourself? My eco-friendly products and packaging are listed below.
