Our Commitment to Sustainability

MID and Sustainability

 

MID’s mission is to preserve cultural traditions in a modern and luxurious way.  Our appreciation of these cultural treasures; be it Arab art or Palestinian embroidery, challenges us to provide them in a gift form for more of the world to enjoy.  We may not all be able to afford a prominent piece of art or intricately hand-embroidered dress, but we hope that through MID more of us can enjoy these pleasures through our product range.

MID The Art Reach Project is all about highlighting beauty and giving back to the community, which makes sustainability and ethical practices of utmost importance when producing our products.  WOOD’s wooden puzzles are made from a sustainable forest source, and with almost zero waste on both the 150 and 250 piece puzzle package, we hope that we can spread joy and culture and also prove that sustainable is possible always.  Maryam The Palestinian Doll is completely hand-made by both international and local artisans which makes the manufacturing process particularly rewarding.  Our commitment to the environment is genuine, with every decision passing through the sustainability filter at early stages.  Our hope is that our products will continue to bring happiness and beauty to the world.

WOOD & SUSTAINABILITY

Our 150 piece puzzle is packaged in a completely reusable outer box that produces zero waste, something we are particularly proud of.  The outer package quickly transforming into a frame and easel to the artwork puzzle, which allows you to display your completed puzzle immediately.  The frame is created in such a way that there is no glue applied to the puzzle, it is held together tightly by the frame itself.  This allows you to collapse the puzzle and re-assemble whenever you like.  Another sustainable element of our WOOD puzzles is the sustainable forest source used for the pieces, which ensures that the practice is safe and environmentally friendly.

MARYAM & SUSTAINABILITY

Regarding Maryam The Palestinian Doll, every aspect of the doll and package are made by hand using the highest calibre artisans in the field.  The doll is made by expert artisans of organic cotton canvas, the hair is natural and does not involve any synthetic elements.  The dress and accessories to the doll are all vintage-sourced.  We are now in the process of training charitable organizations on the dress embroidery, in order to support these local and regional enterprises.  The box is equally artisanal, made of recycled cardboard and using natural printing processes.
