Understanding eco symbols

This mobius loop logo indicates that an element of the material contained within the product is recycled. We display the percentage of recycled material within the logo where it is 60 percent or higher

The Eco Friendly logo is a non-accredited logo that is used within this catalogue to identify products which are less harmful to the world’s resources and comply with one or more of the following standards; Nordic Swan, Blue Angel and EU Eco-Label (see below).

Our catalogue is printed on 51gsm Galerie Lite produced in Finland.  It is Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF).  We are working to ensure that all of the paper we use is ECF or is sourced from well managed forests.

Catalogue pages can be recycled for use in newspapers and packaging – please dispose of these responsibly through your recycling provider. The paper is also biodegradable as compost or can be incinerated to produce energy.
