At Crystal Galleries, we are always looking for ways to make a positive impact on our environment. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we’ve partnered with Ecologi to plant a tree for every beech award sold. In this blog, we explore how our sustainable awards, including beech and recycled acrylic options, are helping create a greener future and why our initiatives make Crystal Galleries an eco-friendly choice for celebrating success.
Our Journey Towards a Greener Future
We believe that every small step can lead to significant change and our journey towards sustainability is driven by this belief. From sourcing sustainable materials to working with trusted partners, we strive to make every aspect of our business more environmentally friendly. Our partnership with Ecologi is one of the key initiatives that allows us to make a tangible difference by planting trees across multiple reforestation projects worldwide.
Beech Awards: Beautiful and Sustainable
Our Beech Awards are crafted from sustainably sourced beech wood, offering a perfect blend of elegance and eco-consciousness. By choosing these awards, you’re not only recognising achievements but also contributing to global reforestation efforts. With every beech award sold, we plant a tree through Ecologi, helping restore forests and sequester carbon from the atmosphere. This makes our beech awards an excellent choice for businesses looking to celebrate success while making a positive impact on the environment.
Recycled Acrylic Awards: Innovation Meets Sustainability
In addition to our beech awards, we are proud to offer Recycled Acrylic Awards as part of our eco-friendly product line. These awards are made from 100% recycled acrylic, providing a stunning, high-quality option that doesn’t compromise on aesthetics or sustainability. The recycled acrylic awards are available in various shapes and sizes, including circle, rectangle, and octagon designs, ensuring a versatile and brandable solution for any recognition event. By choosing these awards, you’re helping reduce plastic waste and supporting the circular economy.
The Impact of Our Tree-Planting Initiative
Through our partnership with Ecologi, we’ve funded the planting of over 1,143 trees across various reforestation projects in regions like Madagascar, Ecuador, Kenya, and Mozambique. These projects are carefully selected to ensure that the right tree species are planted in the right areas, providing maximum benefits for the environment and local communities. Healthy trees play a crucial role in sequestering CO2, supporting biodiversity and restoring ecosystems.
Eco-Friendly Packaging Initiatives
At Crystal Galleries, we also take pride in our eco-friendly packaging practices. We’ve implemented a range of measures to reduce our environmental footprint, including using recycled outer boxes and a new inner packing machine that provides precise packing sheets to cut down on waste. We work with J&B Recycling for glass and acrylic recycling and Enva for pallet recycling, ensuring that our packaging materials are handled responsibly and effectively. These efforts help us minimise waste and promote sustainable practices across our entire operation.
UV Ink Credentials: Sustainable Printing Solutions
Our dedication to sustainability extends to our printing processes as well. We use Mimaki UV-curable inks for our full-colour printing, which offer significant environmental advantages. These inks emit very low levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and the LED-UV light used in the curing process does not produce ozone. By using these eco-friendly inks, we ensure that our products are not only beautiful but also produced in an environmentally responsible manner, prioritising both user safety and environmental health.
