Our Green Initiatives

We take a leadership role in our industry by regularly implementing new and enhancing our many Green Initiatives.

Carbon Reduction
Program

  • We manufacture all products as close to the end customer as feasible to limit freight charges and the emissions impact of transportation. Our goal is to reduce the carbon footprint of transporting and distributing our products.
  • We strategically plan and group customer deliveries to reduce shipping fees and emissions.
  • We continuously challenge our suppliers to optimize their transportation routes to reduce emissions where logically possible.
  • We regularly conduct maintenance on our equipment to ensure all machines are running in an energy efficient manner.
  • Where possible we recycle the heat from our equipment into our plant environment.

Sustainability

  • We offer our customers the option to print 'PLEASE RECYCLE' on the back of their printed envelopes at no additional charge.
  • Over 80% of our envelopes are made with FSC® or SFI® paper from sustainable forests*
  • We use recycled and recyclable substrates whenever possible
