Skar Image Lab is committed to minimising its environmental impact and promoting sustainability in all aspects of its operations. We recognise the importance of protecting our planet for future generations and aim to conduct our business in an environmentally responsible manner. This policy outlines our commitment to environmental sustainability and the specific measures we will take to achieve our goals.

Key Principles:

1. Recyclable and Sustainable Materials:

   • We will prioritise the use of recyclable and sustainable materials in our printing and packaging processes.
   • Our packaging materials, including tubes, boxes and packing materials, will be made from recyclable cardboard to reduce waste and support recycling efforts.
   • We use only kraft paper tapes or paper based tapes for packaging.
     
     

2. Compostable Packaging:

   • Whenever feasible, we will use compostable packaging materials to minimise our contribution to landfills.
   • We will educate our customers on the proper disposal of compostable packaging to ensure it reaches composting facilities.
     
     

3. Local Sourcing:

   • We will support our local community and reduce our carbon footprint by sourcing materials and supplies from local suppliers whenever possible.
   • Our commitment to local sourcing extends to our choice of materials, inks, and any other resources needed for our operations.

Specific Actions:

1. Recycling Program:

   • We will establish a recycling program within our premises to ensure the responsible disposal of recyclable materials.
   • All employees will be educated about recycling procedures, and recycling bins will be available throughout our facility.
     
     

2. Cardboard Packaging:

   • We will exclusively use recyclable cardboard packaging for our products.
   • Any cardboard waste generated in our operations will be recycled or repurposed.
     
     

3. Compostable Packaging Implementation:

   • We will research and identify suitable compostable packaging options for our products.
   • Once identified, we will transition to the use of compostable packaging for select products.
     
     

4. Local Supplier Partnerships:

   • We will actively seek local suppliers for our materials and supplies, prioritising those who share our commitment to sustainability.
   • By sourcing locally, we will reduce transportation-related emissions and support the local economy.

We will contribute paper off-cuts, paper cores, and other materials to schools in assistance of art programmes. Additionally, we will provide ink to artists engaged in the creation of artworks from repurposed materials.

Employee Engagement:

We will engage our employees in our sustainability efforts by providing training and information on our environmental policies and practices. All employees will be encouraged to contribute ideas for further improving our sustainability initiatives.

Continuous Improvement:

Skar Image Lab is dedicated to continuous improvement in its environmental and sustainability practices. We will regularly review and update this policy to ensure it remains aligned with best practices and evolving environmental standards.

Customer Awareness:

We will inform our customers about our environmental and sustainability efforts through our marketing materials, website, and product packaging. We will also encourage our customers to join us in adopting eco-friendly practices.
