Being a sustainable business means that sustainability is at the core of everything we do. It underpins the governance, operations, supplier partnerships and the products we create. We recognise the opportunity to make a positive impact on social and environmental issues and the ongoing need for improvement.
Some of our key sustainable initiatives include include reducing the ecological footprint of our products, minimising waste in manufacturing and maximising recycling efforts across the office, factory and warehouses.
Sustainable Sourcing
Responsibly sourced paper
All paper-based, in-house manufactured products at Avery are FSC® certified, meaning they are made from paper sourced from responsibly managed forest that protect biodiversity and uphold international labour and human rights standards.
Sustainable Manufacturing
Ethical & Sustainable Business Operations
- As a Sedex member, we are committed to maintaining ethical business operations throughout our supply chain. This means that not only our company but also our suppliers, partners and other business in our supply chain adhere to international recognised labour practises.
- Avery practices lean manufacturing, optimising production, storage and distribution to support sustainability goals. Initiatives that help reduce our carbon footprint include:
- Minimising the use of plastic shrink wrap packing and reusing packaging whenever possible.
- Optimising Inventory levels by producing and delivering products only when needed, in the right amount, and in the right time.
Eco-Friendly Products
Sustainable Paper-based Products
- All in-house manufactured paper-based products are FSC-certified.
- Our Kraft Brown Labels are made from 100% post-consumer waste.
- The adhesive used in our labels are water-soluble.
- We are continuously working to improve our products to be more environmentally friendly and will continue to do so. Stay tuned for more.
Greener Shipping
Sustainable Packaging
All orders are packaged in cardboard boxes or packages containing 70%-100% recycled materials, which are fully recyclable after use.
By manufacturing in the same location as product fulfillment, we eliminate the need for additional shipping reducing our carbon footprint. This also allows us to reuse packaging whenever possible, minimising waste.
