Cupid Intimates is striving to reduce the impact that our operations have on the environment. It’s a goal shared by our employees, the residents of our host communities, our retail partners, and our customers.

- Our product tags are made using recycled materials.
- We properly store and dispose of all waste and any hazardous materials.

- We now use re-useable cardboard cartons, instead of plastic bags, to move bundles internally.
- We’re replacing our overhead, conventional lighting with digital lighting to improve energy efficiency. (Since 2009)
- We’ve changed the way we primarily transport our goods to the United States, increasingly using container ships instead of cargo planes. (Since 2005)
- We’ve initiated a pilot program to recycle our cutting-room fabric scraps. (Since 2011)
- We’ve begun to recycle paper and plastic bottles. (2012)

|
- We’ve reduced the amount of plastic shrink-wrap we use to package the pallets of goods we ship to our customers.
- We donate funds to help sustain the local recycling center in Tonkawa, Oklahoma. Without these donations, this facility could not remain open.
- We recycle cardboard, paper, plastic, aluminum, and printer cartridges, preventing 3.5 tons of refuse from being sent to the landfill each month.
- We’re working with a consulting company to reduce, measure, and report our carbon footprint.
- We’ve reduced the amount of packaging we use when shipping our products by eliminating excess plastic bagging.
- The cardboard cartons used to ship our goods are made, in part, from recycled materials.
- We reuse the cardboard cartons used to ship our goods among our factories and distribution center.
- We eliminated the use of plastic liners in the boxes of goods we ship to our domestic retail partners. We now use specially-coated boxes made with biodegradable materials.
- We installed a system of computerized order-picking that relies on scanners and has reduced our use of paper. (2009)
- We replaced our overhead, conventional lighting with digital lighting to improve energy efficiency. (2008)
