The AVG an the protection of environmen
As greeting cards are art products, they have a special standard
of sophistication.
Not only because of the expert choice of images but also from
the selection of
the materials used and the skilled manufacture involved. Naturally,
this sophistication,
material complexity and quality makes greeting card recycling
desirable.
Environmentally friendly resources are favoured throughout the
manufacturing
process Inks containing barium sulphates are not allowed in the
printing rooms.
Water for washing the pressing-rollers is collected afterwards
and carefully stored away.
The integration of all environmental aspects in production
is a must. When selecting
materials during the planning period, consideration is given
wherever it is aesthetically possible to chlorite-free papers
which are recyclable and of European origin.
Packaging is reduced to a minimum and naturally carries, as does
the PVC covering, the symbol of the "green dot".
The members of the AVG take care that only clean merchandise
of the highest quality standard is delivered to their clients,
and that all environmental factors are taken into consideration.
They are doing this because they want their clients to have as
much fun selling card,
as the sender has writing them and the receiver has reading them.
