Sustainability

At Spectrum, we take great pride in using materials that are sustainable and recyclable. We consider ourselves a “green” business, thanks in part to our FSC^® certification. It’s a respected designation that ensures all of our FSC certified products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.

The papers used for our folding cartons and packaging come from certified tree farms where trees are planted, harvested, and replanted specifically for the paper industry. Paper trees are treated just like any other crop, from apples to oranges and soybeans to corn. With every project, we try to avoid plastic materials because paper is more environmentally sound.

Partnering with an FSC-certified business like Spectrum is also a better way to promote your brand as one that cares about the environment. Did you know that paper farming actually increases the number of trees on our planet? In fact, for every tree harvested from a managed tree farm, five more trees are planted, resulting in 1.7 million new trees on our planet every year.

In service of our long-term sustainability goals, Spectrum has recently transitioned our entire facility to 100% LED lighting.

“We are always looking for new ways to improve the sustainability. In dedication to our green initiatives, we’ve made the transition to 100% LED lighting at Spectrum. This change will help reduce our overall energy consumption and get closer to reaching our company’s ambitious sustainability goals.” — Mark Mills, VP of Sales and Marketing at SPC
