We are proactive in reducing our environmental impact at every stage of the product life cycle, from manufacturing to disposal.
We make every effort to reduce the consumption of natural resources, support zero-waste emission efforts, and recycle end-of-life products and packaging materials. All outer packaging is made of 90% recycled paper and inner packaging is made from 70% recycled paper.
SW’s Mission is sustainability, and one critical aspect of sustainability is managing our natural resources. SW targeted packaging as an avenue for improvement to be more sustainable, this included everything from the packaging materials to the inks used in the printing. We did this by taking steps to verify that our materials come from certified sources who take forest stewardship seriously.
