Sustainability
Over the past decade, we have developed a range of cost-effective paper products that meet the quality needs of customers while minimising the impact on the environment.
We achieve this through:
Sustainable Procurement
Our people think and act with the environment in mind, and focus on sourcing products and raw materials that reduce our impact on the planet. Our range includes products with Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) and Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) certifications.
Manufacturing Partnerships
Our manufacturing partners here and overseas have been carefully selected to ensure our products are sourced and manufactured with an emphasis on environmentally sound principles. We have completed our due diligence to ensure that all our sources of timber are from legally harvested sources and comply with Australian Government regulations (Illegal Logging Prohibition Act 2012).
Environmental Accreditations
With our Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) and Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) certifications, customers can feel assured of our green procurement practices.
What is Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA)?
The GECA program offers global best practices in product certification and eco-labeling to the Australian market.It sets the standard for environmental performance across the life cycle in a way that makes it easy for purchasers to confidently make sustainable choices. These robust standards also help manufacturers take action to improve the environmental and social impacts of their products.
What is Forestry
Stewardship Council (FSC)?
FSC certification is internationally recognised as having the most rigorous environmental and social standards which define responsible forest management.Before a product can be labelled as FSC certified, each step in the supply chain has to be reviewed against FSC standards.
Additionally, we are guided by ethical and responsible business practices, ensuring our service delivery supports our sustainability goals, as well as maintaining the safety of our people, customers, contractors, and visitors.Regal, Enviro-Saver & TruSoft Accreditations
