Each Buffy Eucalyptus Pillowcase is made entirely from our signature eucalyptus (harvested from forests in Austria and the Czech Republic) and sewn with 100% eucalyptus lyocell thread. They’re dyed using small-batch natural dyes created from plants and minerals (never insects). For our colors, we used ingredients like turmeric, gardenia, and pomegranate which are then dried, ground into a powder (kind of like matcha), and mixed with water to create a dye bath.

Eucalyptus lyocell is as durable as cotton (translation: these are pillowcases you can enjoy for years to come) and get softer with use and washing. Speaking of washing: 90% of the energy used to wash your linens and clothes goes to heating water! Switch to cold to slash your emissions, preserve color, and opt for a gentle, plant-based detergent free of harmful synthetics. Drying on a line or a hanging rack as opposed to a conventional dryer—second only to refrigerators in household energy use—will also increase the longevity of your sheets. No outdoor space? A wool dryer ball speeds up dry time without contributing to landfill waste with a dryer sheet.

We offset the CO2 emissions of all shipments from our factory partners to our distribution center to your doorstep and in the future, we aim to offset the emissions generated by our entire supply chain. Today, our pillowcase set ships in recyclable plastic packaging. Our Supply Chain team is committed to developing a recycled plastic or biodegradable alternative.

Returns are an inherently wasteful process, so we encourage our customers to donate products they wish to return (and we refund them, of course!) to give the product a second lease on life—and reduce CO2 emissions overall. Our roadmap to a closed loop supply chain includes plans for a return take back program that will allow us to turn worn Buffy products into new, comfy essentials.
