We plant a tree for every product sold. Read more.

Commitment

Sustainability is important to us. We work with on-demand businesses, and only produce items we get an order for, avoiding resource waste from overproduction. We make sure that our products are sourced, manufactured, printed, packaged and shipped responsibly.

Eco-friendly Product Materials

There are a lot of reasons why a product or material could be considered sustainable. Currently, at RURUFLO, our eco-friendly product collection consists of items made of at least 70% organic or recycled materials, or a mix of these materials.

Print-on-Demand

Did you know that each of the product here is made just for you? Print-on-demand model allows us to make the product when we receive your order, avoiding resource waste. So forget about mass-produced stuff, and let us create your one-of-a-kind piece.

Printing Technology

Our printing partner uses Kornit printers that generate almost zero wastewater! Since 2002, Kornit’s technology has been leading the industry moving to on-demand manufacturing, reducing overproduction by up to 30% annually.

Ink

Inks are Oeko-Tex™ certified, vegan, water-based, and free of harmful chemicals. The dispose of any left-over ink is conducted properly according to the ink supplier guidelines.

Packaging

Some of our products are packed in post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic mailers. The amount of PCR in the packaging will differ depending on where the order gets printed, but it’s at least 50% for the outside (white or grey) poly mailer bags and at least 30% for the inside (clear) bags used in multi-item shipments.

PCR packaging is made from everyday items, like used plastic bags and bottles. This material protects your order just as well as regular plastic bags, however, choosing PCR over first-use plastics reduces the environmental impact plastic has on our planet.

Gradually, we will switch to 90%–100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic packaging all over North America.

Also, triangular cardboard boxes now are used for shipping poster orders to replace tubes with plastic end caps.

Shipping

Around 81% of Printful orders are delivered in the same region they’re fulfilled. Having fulfillment centers close to our customers is a strategic decision. This allows faster delivery with a lower shipping costs, and also helps with reducing the CO₂ emissions produced when transporting orders.
