We, at Tanner Couch Calendars take pride in the fact that we use environmentally friendly products to make our calendars. Minimising our utilisation of non-renewable resources and maximising recycling opportunities are the principles on which our Environmental Policy has been founded.

Paper

The Ambassador paper which we primarily use contains 100% virgin fibre that is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) chain of custody certified. The company is beginning the process to be a Certified Printer under these regulations.  The manufacturing process operates under an Environmental Management System that is Certified by ISO 14001 and is Elemental Chlorine Free.

The balance is virgin fibre from approved forests and controlled, non-controversial wood sources. It is made using an Elemental Chlorine-Free (ECF) bleaching process.

Where larger off cuts are available, these are stored and distributed free to local schools and kindergartens.

A local recycling company regularly collects all waste paper.

Chemicals

It is our policy to purchase water soluble chemicals where possible. We store those chemicals which cannot be disposed of via normal waste water systems in metal drums. These chemicals are then collected by a waste management company to be disposed of safely.

Where possible we use non-solvent based inks and wash-up solutions. Depending on the application and end use of the product, we try to use soy/vegetable based inks.

Other Waste

Our policy is to limit land fill waste. Paper and cardboard waste, metal waste, plastic waste, and wood pallet waste are separated and recycled with various local recycling companies. We also recycle our green waste from the gardens with a local garden recycler. Residual waste product is minimal and is disposed of via a waste removal company.
