Environmental Policy
At Folded Forest we recognise that as artists and manufacturers we have a responsibility to the environment and we take this very seriously. We aim to reduce our environmental impact and to continue to regularly assess our progress.
We always consider what we make before using the worlds resources to manufacture a product. Our aim is to design and make products that people feel a connection to; products made with care from high quality materials that aren’t ‘throw away’ and instead will be treasured and enjoyed for years to come.
Responsibility
Sarah Peel & Ruth Viqueira are responsible for ensuring this environmental policy is implemented. We will also share our environmental goals with any employees, suppliers and customers when possible.
Products
We will:
- Use only responsibly sourced materials to manufacture and package our products
- Source FSC paper stocks where possible. Either recycled or from sustainable sources
- Make economical use of paper (ie when cutting down for printing) to reduce wastage, and re use offcuts where possible
- Reduce waste and recycle any waste paper and other recyclable materials
Packaging
We will:
- Source sustainable or recycled packaging for our products
- Reduce packaging as much as possible and commit to removing single use plastic
Energy Usage
We will seek to:
- Reduce our use of energy as much as possible by switching off unused lights and electrical equipment, and keeping heating low and only when necessary
- Keep our water consumption to minimum, ensure taps are off, and fix leaks promptly
- Travel by public transport when possible
