About Washed Up Cards

Hi there, I'm Flora founder of Washed Up Cards. I make sustainable greetings cards and decorate them with plastic washed up on rivers and beaches around the UK. I hope the cards help spread awareness about plastic pollution in a fun and engaging way! In September 2019, I went on a beach clean up event and I realised the importance of communities coming together to bring positive change. Not only is it great for the environment, it's brilliant for mental health, it helps you to connect with nature and ultimately, it brings joy! This inspired me to create Washed Up, an enterprise that aims to promote wellness through group beach cleans and workshops to create products from the plastic and rubbish we collect. Washed Up Cards has emerged from this. We create beautiful handmade cards where you can repurpose trash and also spread a message of goodwill, hope and care for the planet we live in. We can't all do everything, but Washed Up helps you discover the small things you can do to make the world a slightly better place. Washed Up is the antidote to the overwhelm we feel around environmental issues. We offer beach cleans, creative workshops and handmade cards that are all sustainable and environmentally-friendly.Read their story
