Green Dog
At Blue Dog, we've made a commitment to become as green as reasonably possible.
Steps we've undertaken include:
- We've changed our default packaging in store from plastic tubing to paper wraps.
- We have had storage & display sleeves custom made for our prints to eliminate the use of single use cello bags & cardboard backing.
- For online orders we've always use cardboard tubing and brown paper
- We buy electricity from renewable sources (such as wind, solar).
- We recycle as much waste as we can.
- We re-use as much packaging as possible.
- We changed all our lighting in store & warehouse from low voltage spotlights (which guzzle power) to low energy LED spot lights.
- We print promotional material on paper sourced from managed forests and recycled paper.
- ... And now many of the posters we source are printed on recycled paper as well as paper generated from managed forests.
-
Nothing more than greenwashing? Got a suggestion for something we can do better? Let us know.
