The Future Of Ecommerce
The best ecommerce websites all have one simple aim; to get what the customer wants to them as quickly and as easily as possible. As consumers, we have come to expect the ultimate convenience.

How We Can Save the Planet
Mitigating and fighting climate change is about reducing CO₂ emissions, which (along with methane) represents ~90% of all greenhouse gases. Largely the result of burning fossil fuels to provide energy for transport, heating, electricity and industry, CO₂ emission effectively forms an insulation around the planet. Now as the Earth absorbs sunlight, the heat cannot easily…
Ikea Recycling Scheme Kicks Off, But Is It Enough?
Ikea has previously announced a mission statement to become climate positive by 2030. Today it rolled out its ‘buy back’ initiative across the UK, buying back and reselling customers’ second hand items, to avoid them ending up in ‘landfill’. This should come as a delight to a great many, especially younger student buyers and short…
New Bookcase & Cupboard Design

Times Are Changing
Inscribed in stone on the Jali factory are the words Tempora Mutantur et Nos Mutamur in Illis. For all those not born in ancient Rome, this means “Times change, and we must change with them.” And these are strange times indeed. As part of the national response to COVID-19, our top priority is to help…
COVID-19 Statement
Jali operates out of a self-contained factory in the Kentish countryside, managed by a small team of local staff keen to keep production going. However, we are wary of the developing situation, and will ensure that all our packaging staff, as well as our delivery drivers and handlers, are all equipped with gloves. All are aware of public health…
