Commitment to Sustainability

OvaBoard is committed to being environmental aware by adopting responsible practices throughout its operations to minimize our environmental impact and to reduce and re-use waste, and to efficiently manage energy use, so we can provide innovative products based on sustainable design.

Our philosophy has always been to provide the highest level of customer service with the highest quality products that can be produced. We demonstrate this philosophy in the following ways:

A message from our Manufacturer...

Materials Management

In the manufacture of OvaBoard we always use papers that contain 100% recycled fiber. The majority of the fiber comes from local sources, minimizing the impact from material movement. Over the last decade- and-a-half, we have reduced the weight of the core product paper, thus reducing waste by almost ten thousand tons per year.

Efficiency of Production and Energy Consumption

We use computer-controlled production technology to minimize the overuse of materials. Heat energy is recycled wherever possible in the production process, to reduce energy consumption. Over the last decade-and-a-half, we have reduced energy use per unit of production by over twenty-five percent.

Efficient Materials Management through Recycling

We work with many of our customers to reuse materials used for the packaging and shipping of products, as well as scrap produced in conversion.

Culture of Environmental Sensitivity and Social Responsibility

Our goal is to make all our employees more environmentally sensitive and to develop a culture within the organization. And as we employ mostly from the local communities our hope is that they will take this knowledge and culture with them and into their communities to be promoted in an ethical and sustainable manner. We purchase from sources that are partnered with Rainforest Alliance and FSC.
