Go Green!

This is our ongoing campaign that emphasizes our commitment to the environment.

Publishers and companies in general have the responsibility of taking a leading role in reducing and minimizing the human impact on endangered forest reserves, fighting climate change and conserving natural resources.

We at THUMBPRINTS® Utd. recognize that we too have a role to play. GO GREEN is our initiative to show our determination to work closely with publishers and our corporate customers in adopting more eco-friendly practices in the manufacture any form of printing materials.

We segregate, recycle and dispose of our waste in sound environmental ways. Waste water is treated by our treatment tank before being released into drains. The water is then toxic free and harmless to both the general public and living organisms in the water system.

Below are 3 key initiatives we call upon your consideration.

 

FSC organization engages independent agents to
inspect and assure careful and long-term forest management. Trees harvested need to meet the strictly guarded FSC principles and criteria.

Using FSC certified paper is a step toward your commitment to future sustainability. With more support for FSC paper from the general public, we will create a
force of demand on paper mills to use responsible pulp sources.

FSC Chain of custody allows you, as our customers, to trace the source of materials. Each of the processes is clearly labeled and identifiable, from logging to printing manufacturing.

Rather than burning and throwing into landfills, recycled paper allows pulp fiber to have 1 to 2 more life cycles.

We are promoting recycled brown Kraft and recycled white paper. We have a variety of 100% or 50% recycled papers for you to choose from.

In fact, all of the wrapping paper and cartons we use in
the factory are made in recycled brown kraft. We hope to get more support in using the recycled materials.

We constantly source paper that is made from nonforest alternative fibers. Each paper is test-printed for quality and suitability, and sourced from mills that have strong environmental credentials. Sugarcane Paper has met our requirement.

Sugarcane Paper is made primarily from Bagasse
mixed with fiber from regulated farms. The manufacturing process uses renewable raw materials, water treatment, chlorine free pulp bleaching, wind energy, and sound waste management processes.

For these reasons, we believe that Sugarcane Paper is your best choice for alternative Eco Paper.
