Environmental policies

Negating environmental impact that this business has is a high priority for Ruth Egon. Here are some of the processes and products that support her mission to have a positive impact on the planet:

• The fine art paper used for Giclée prints is made using fine waste from other manufacturing processes (mainly clothing manufacturing);
• I use a local independent business in Edinburgh to produce fine art prints, reducing delivery miles;
• Where possible I chose to ship items using carbon neutral delivery companies;
• Our handmade papers used for ink drawings are made from recycled cotton, they are individually set into the moulds and then dried slowly in the Indian sun. The machinery normally used to make paper uses a considerable amount of energy, turning paper pulp into a giant roll of perfectly dry paper in barely a minute. The water used in the production is then run off to irrigate the field neighbouring the factory;
• Wrapping of artwork for delivery is made up of recyclable and biodegradable materials.
