Sustainability
Reducing the impact on the environment is extremely important to us as a company, so we set out to make the most eco-friendly prints we can.
Extensive research has gone into sourcing suppliers and materials that not only have the best quality, but also have the least impact on the environment as possible - this is something that we’re extremely passionate about as a company!
Paper
Our Matte paper comes from FSC and PEFC certified forests that ensure commitment to environmental protection and guarantee that all the wood used for the production of pulp originates from controlled sources. Our suppliers management systems are in line with internationally recognised standards: Quality Management System, under ISO 9001; Environmental Management System, under ISO 14001.
100% recycled - 100% recyclable
Our glossy paper comes from FSC certified managed forests, ensuring all our paper is made from responsibly managed forests is key for us.
Frames
We couldn’t sleep at night if we didn’t supply the best quality frames made using sustainability sourced wood. Our beautiful frames are made of high-quality, solid and untreated Oak from FSC managed forests. Our supplier plants two trees for every tree used. We keep our margins incredibly low to ensure you don’t have to pay through the roof for decent frames!
Energy
We’re extremely pleased that all electricity used to power our printers comes from renewable sources, ensuring that carbon emissions associated with our printing are incredibly low.
Packaging
We use the least amount of packaging material as possible, whilst also making sure your prints and frames are well protected.
All packaging is made from recycled materials and is fully recyclable - although, we encourage you to re-use your packaging if possible.
Our tissue paper is biodegradable, compostable, recyclable and made from recycled materials.
Even our packaging tape is recyclable and plastic free.
Charity
Supporting the protection of our beautiful planet is incredibly important to us at Amatus.
We believe everyone can make a difference and that includes us as a company.
We donate 1% of profits to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS).
We wanted to donate to a charity that has real, positive impact on the environment, so UCS were the obvious choice. UCS are a non-profit organisation of 250 scientists who work to tackle the worlds problems such as climate change, food sustainability, sustainable energy and transportation.
They have the highest ranking from charity rating agencies for their responsible stewardship of donations and grants, so we know the money is going to where it should.
