Sustainability Commitment
Proud of our Sustainability
Craftis is continually striving to improve our sustainability. Annually audited, we are pleased to be a FSC®-certified business. FSC® is dedicated to the promotion of responsible forest management worldwide.
Selling over 20 million activity packs, takeaway boxes and bags in 2024, we have seen an 81%* increase in UK manufacture compared to 2023. Craftis is proud to continue to support UK businesses as well as make major steps to reduce its carbon footprint.
Carbon Balanced Printing
We are thrilled to partner with one of just a handful of certified Carbon Balanced Printers in the UK. They measure and balance the annual impacts of our fossil fuel usage, transportation and electricity consumption. These impacts are third-party verified, and balanced with the international conservation charity World Land Trust (WLT).
Shaping the Future
All boxed crayons are manufactured with 100% solar power energy. Our new double-ended version reduce the pack size from 4 to 2- removing unnecessary waste. The smaller pack size has resulted in a reduction to the case size and packaging for shipping.
Our eco-friendly Bizzi Range** of activity packs and takeaway packaging are non toxic and do not contain harmful substances, chemicals or compounds. Each product is home and industrial compostable or biodegradable, to reduce our impact on the environment.
Our reusable activity bags are now manufactured from rPET material. Made from 100% recycled plastics, we have lowered our carbon footprint removing the need for virgin PET.
Our pre-packed wax crayons are supplied in 100% recycled card. We are working towards FSC®-certified crayon wrappers.
Supporting Newlife, The Charity for Disabled Children, with charitable donations on an annual basis based on our profits. We fully support their efforts to ensure that every disabled or terminally ill child, gets the equipment they depend on and the quality of life they deserve.
We encourage our customers to ensure orders are realistic, and any waste is donated to charitable partners to benefit children in need.
We include educational messaging on our products to encourage their re-use. Our family games and complete activity packs are suitably packaged to be put away and taken home, providing a reminder of a great family experience.
Big Changes
Constantly striving for more sustainable operations, our deliveries to our largest customers are now in bigger, less frequent drops, minimising our emissions. We are also making great efforts to remove all unnecessary plastic and packaging from our shipping process.
Although we value face to face meetings, we use video calls wherever possible to meet with our customers and demonstrate our products. Proofs and mockups are provided digitally where possible, and any samples created are recycled after use.
We’re not finished yet! We know there’s a lot more work to do- we'll keep you posted as it happens.
