Eco-Processes
How well do the processes inherent in the manufacturing, packaging and distribution of this product sustain nature?
Biospherically CorrectOur greeting card packs incorporate two important milling/manufacturing criteria:
- Pulp processing from PCF, TCF, or ECF mills (in that order preferably- see below)
- The use of vegetable based inks to ensure low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs -see Green Ingredients).
"A mill using standard chlorine bleaching (elemental chlorine) realeases about 35 tonnes of organochlorines (dioxins and chlorinated toxic pollutants) a day. An ECF releases 7-10 tons per day, a PCF or TCF mill releases none." Worldwatch Institute
Our greeting cards and boxes are made from card that is processed ECF - Elementally chlorine free. Our envelopes come from 100% recycled pulp which is PCF - processed cholrine free.
Summary: The manufacturing and production of our greeting cards incorporates valuable eco processes.
