About Being Humanity

Our Story

A jewellery business, on a genuine journey towards sustainability.

Jewelarc International distribution centre and head office in Chonburi, Thailand Chonburi, Thailand

In late 2017, we started asking a hard question: could the jewellery industry keep the plastic packaging it depends on, without the waste that comes with it?

That search led to Being Humanity — Jewelarc International's initiative to help the wider industry reduce plastic waste at the source, by replacing standard poly bags with HOME compostable ones.

"Being Humanity is our commitment to helping the jewellery industry cut plastic waste at scale, through HOME compostable packaging."

Being Humanity is an initiative of Jewelarc International, a jewellery design, development, manufacturing, and distribution company operating globally since 2002 — serving wholesale, retail, and catalogue markets.

The Initiative

Where We're Headed

We began our sustainability program in 2017 with waste-control systems across food, office, and manufacturing waste. We've since eliminated all single-use plastic from our own workplace — around 1.5 tonnes a year — and every shipped product now goes out in HOME compostable packaging.
