Environmental Initiatives

At B GREEN we always strive to make the most environmentally friendly choices –  starting from the way our pots are produced, right down to how we print our inspiration catalogue, postcards and other printed matters.

That’s why we collaborate with KLS PurePrint – a Danish printing company that is Cradle to Cradle certified!

Cradle to Cradle® is a globally recognized measure of safer, more sustainable products made for the circular economy, ensuring that products create value not just for people, but also the environment too. It is one of the world’s most ambitious environmental certifications, which places demands on the entire life cycle of the product. It is the vision of a world in which we can benefit the planet without having to reduce consumption or the welfare standards of producers. It’s a vision that we at B GREEN share with enthusiasm!

Cradle to Cradle®  is your guarantee that our paper and inks are produced without chemicals and heavy metals registered on the Banned List of Chemicals, and that the printed matters neither pollutes nor uses the limited resources of the earth – instead, it’s part of nature’s own cycle. It also ensures that our printed products are produced under the most environmentally friendly conditions possible.

The inspiration catalogue is produced CO2 neutrally using only wind energy. The wood for the paper comes from FSC forestry, which ensures that no more wood is felled than forests can reproduce.

In a Cradle to Cradle® world, all materials are healthy for the surroundings and can be part of a repeating circuit. B GREEN is a part of that world, and so whilst many of our printed matters are actually so clean that you can eat them (!) we suspect you may get more pleasure from simply looking at it.

We hope you enjoy browsing the catalogues – printed or online – with the added pleasure of knowing that our products not only look good, they do good too!

Enjoy!

PS. It goes without saying, we don’t recommend you really eat any of our prints!

PPS. We work actively with three of the 17 Global Goals, and this initiative is part of this work.

We strive to minimize the burden on the environment – day by day. 

That is why we work actively with the Global Goals. For us, there is no excuse at all for not doing so. And it also gives a better gut feeling, both for us and for you.

We have a special focus on three of the 17 world goals. Read more about goals and efforts below.

Goal 1: Eliminate poverty

Too many people still live in extreme poverty and struggle daily to meet their most basic human needs. We work purposefully to change this, by having many of our handmade pots made by small family businesses that need work to secure their day to day living.

In the picture below you see one of our potters in action.

Goal 8: Decent jobs and economic growth

According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), more than 204 million people (!) Were unemployed in 2015.

Our efforts towards this goal go hand in hand with the efforts towards goal no. 1.

By finding more small independent producers who can help us with the making of our jars, we are helping to secure some decent jobs for more families.

Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production

Economic growth and sustainable development require that we reduce our footprint on nature by changing the way we produce and consume our goods and resources. That is why we at B GREEN work continuously to avoid the use of toxic materials in the manufacture of our jars. 

We have also chosen to recycle – both when it comes to our Vintage collection and our packaging in connection with shipping.

In addition, we have a very strong attitude towards our printed matter (catalogs, postcards, etc.), which we get made at KLS Pureprint. Here we always ensure that our material is printed on the most environmentally friendly paper and with their very environmentally friendly printing ink.
