Green Innovation

Unibind cares about the future health of the earth. As part of its commitment to the environment, the manufacturer partakes in various eco-friendly initiatives to cut down on the 'ecological footprint' and to increase the use of recycled products.

As such, Unibind acquired the FSC certificate (Forest Stewardship Council) for its hardbook binding covers. The FSC label indicates that the SteelBooks and PhotoBooks from Unibind are manufactured from certified paper and cardboard produced, distributed and sold in a responsible manner. Thus supporting a responsible forest management. FSC certified raw or end products meet all criteria of the FSC chain of custody. In other words: every foregoing production and supply chain also carries a FSC label which is traceable from source till end consumer. The total number of certified forests today amounts 7% of the world’s forest surface. 24% of all these certified forests are ratified by the FSC labeling system.

Furthermore Unibind has undertaken following projects and initiatives:

• Recycling is an important part of the production process, waste is processed separately. Moreover, the cardboard in the hardcovers is made from 100% recycled material. This also applies to almost all cartons used in our production.
• Eco-friendly climate systems based on heat recuperation have been installed throughout our production halls and guarantee an agreeable climate during the entire year.
• Unibind will install two windmills at its premises in 2011. Production and offices will switch partly to green, renewable energy for reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
• A solar project will be started, so that Unibind can further provide in its own energy.
