Environmental Awareness

We’ve always had an environmental awareness and have recycled and reused in our household forever! 

Environmental awareness is a way of life for us so we do all that we can to create as little waste as possible. We use as little plastic as possible and instead use cardboard envelopes, paper tape and reuse cardboard boxes. Unlike most companies that create calendars, we don’t over print.  Unfortunately, this does mean we sell out and have disappointed customers but we would rather sell out than have huge quantities of calendars go to waste.

It’s quite a minefield out there and although environmental awareness is now mainstream, there are many companies selling products as “green” when in fact the reality is quite different. When there isn’t an alternative to using plastic, we try to use compostable materials. However, it turns out that biodegradable plastic only composts and breaks down when your compost is very hot!  We hope that more alternatives to plastic become mainstream and we often talk to our suppliers about our need for green alternatives. 

We print all our UK diaries and calendars locally in the UK and all our US diaries and calendars are printed in America. Both printers use FSC paper & vegetable inks.
