Social Responsibility

We believe that our business has the power to make a difference in the world. Through responsible practices we dedicate ourselves to improving the environment. We consistently monitor our efforts in each of the areas below and constantly strive for continous improvement.

Paper Procurement

All of the paper we source is from dedicated suppliers who promote sustainable management of our natural resources. All paper procured for our catalogs is manufactured EFC, environmentally chlorine free.

Catalog Manufacturing

All manufacturing paper waste is recycled back into newsprint which is utilized to print the Washington Post newspaper. Inks that are contaminated with paper dust are cleansed, re toned into black ink and reused. No ink is land filled. All used printing plates are recycled.

Product Packaging

Corrugated cardboard used for shipment boxes is made from a minimum of forty percent recycled fiber, post consumer waste.

Waste Management and Recycling

Currently we have a broad range of recycling and waste management initiatives at our corporate office to address paper products, aluminum cans, glass and plastic. Unusable electronic equipment is refurbished or recycled. All corrugated boxes received via return orders are recycled.
