We can guarantee that;

• 66% of the material in our cardboard boxes is recycled and all of our Kraft boxes are 100% biodegradable.

• Our Shrink wrap can be 100% recycled (check local recycling).

• Thai Tissue paper is Oxygen bleached (better for the environment) and made using non toxic dyes.

• Our grey board is made from 100% recycled post consumer waste.

• Our paper and grey board come from sustainably sourced suppliers.

• The UN Sustainability Development Goals play a big part in all that we do. Unrecycled materials (where we can) often get distributed to charitable organisations within the community.

At Pink Pig, we pride ourselves on manufacturing as sustainably as possible and believe that environmentally focused practices are the way forward. If you would like to read up on our company wide commitments and sustainable business practices, you can read up on that here.

As a major user of paper, we are often asked about our environmental and recycling policies. Early on in Pink Pig history we made the decision to only buy acid free pulp from accredited and sustainable resources. We source pulp from Europe, which is then manufactured into paper as locally as possible by our luxury paper manufacturers. This ensures that not only do you get the best quality products, but that we are also doing our bit to help the environment. We have also been working hard to offer products that have been created from recycled materials. Our brown paper is made using branded coffee cups which was previously un-recyclable waste. This is then re-purposed to form our unique Brown paper sketchbooks, with a shade exclusive to Pink Pig.

Our Bergung Pig sketchbooks are also extremely environmentally friendly, combining quality covers with beautiful 100% recycled paper.

We also recycle our waste, where possible and do our best to distribute any unrecycled waste to communities with the hope that they can make use of this. We pride ourselves on our low carbon footprint. Most of our books are handmade here in Yorkshire and over 93% of our suppliers are from within the EU. We chose our suppliers carefully with high quality goods, who also share our values and commitment to the environment.

Our code of conduct makes it clear we will not tolerate any form of discrimination and instead promote equality and diversity, dignity at work and whistleblowing.

From our formation, we have sourced our suppliers as locally as possible and have been committed to acting in an ethical manner, with integrity and transparency in our business dealings.

Modern slavery, including all forms of servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking are abhorrent practices that continue throughout the world today.

Here at Pink Pig, we have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business or within our supply chain. We source the majority of our raw materials from the UK or European suppliers, in which regions modern slavery is not prevalent, but we recognise that certain goods and the countries from which they are sourced, may carry a greater risk. We continue to review and monitor our established supply chain and will investigate thoroughly potential new providers in order to prevent modern slavery risks.

We know what goes into all of our products and who makes them. We are pleased to offer you this as peace of mind and if you are reading this, we believe that you are like-minded and we salute you!
