Sustainability
We’re In It for the Long Run
Every name badge we make is a small promise to do better for our planet.
At Imprint Plus, sustainability is not a trend or a campaign. It is a principle we build into everything we do.
From the way we design our products to how we source materials and train our team, we are proud to offer solutions that reduce waste,
promote reuse, and encourage others to lead by example.
Eco-Friendly Products That Work
Our badge systems are developed to align with circular design principles. We create products that can be reused, recycled, or responsibly sourced.
We regularly evaluate our materials and packaging to find opportunities for improvement.
Highlights include:
How We Make It Greener
We think sustainability should be baked into every part of the process, not just the final product.
From smart material choices to how we pack and ship orders, here’s what we’re doing behind the scenes to reduce our footprint:
Plastic-Free Packaging Update
In 2024, our Richmond, BC facility eliminated styrofoam from packaging for magnet boxes, replacing it with fully recyclable corrugated cardboard flutes.
These new inserts keep items secure while cutting down on landfill waste.
FSC® Certified Insert Sheets
All our badge insert sheets are made from responsibly sourced, FSC certified paper, helping support forests and reduce the impact of printed materials.
Low Waste Shipping Practices
We optimize box sizes, avoid excess packing, and ship from multiple facilities to reduce emissions and avoid waste wherever we can.
Durable Badge Systems, Less Waste
Many of our badge components are made from long lasting, recyclable plastic designed to be reused again and again. This helps reduce the need for single use replacements.
Sustainable Sourcing and Production
We regularly assess our suppliers, materials, and processes to find smarter, greener options and minimize unnecessary waste across the board.
People First, Planet Always
Sustainability starts with people. That is why we provide ongoing training for our team, helping everyone at Imprint Plus understand how their daily decisions support our environmental goals.
Our staff participates in a variety of green activities throughout the year, from recycling drives and waste audits to community clean-ups and sustainability challenges.
These experiences help foster a culture of shared responsibility and pride in the role we play as individuals and as a company.
We remain committed to verified sustainable practices and continue to evaluate, improve, and track our progress across multiple areas of our business to ensure we’re always moving forward.
A Milestone Worth Celebrating
In 2024, our parent company, CCL Industries, received a Silver Medal from EcoVadis, a global sustainability ratings platform. This achievement places CCL in the top 15% of more than 130,000 companies reviewed worldwide.
EcoVadis evaluates companies in four areas:
- Environmental impact
- Labor and human rights
- Ethics
- Sustainable procurement
This recognition highlights the progress we have made and motivates us to continue raising the bar.
