Our Environmental Policy
Over the past decade, it has become clear that we must do more to reduce our impact on the environment. In the sign & graphics materials industry, this reality affects every phase of the production chain, from raw materials to manufacturing products, to printing and finishing. At Uniwell, we are committed to this effort, striving to produce eco-friendly products and conduct environmentally-friendly practices.
As your customers’ awareness about their eco footprint grows, so does your need to keep pace with the newest developments in green materials and technologies. To help you identify eco-friendly Uniwell products, we have devised the EarthWell™ brand and logo. Whether you're browsing our products online or in our catalog, you can look for the EarthWell™ logo to help you make greener choices.
Over the past decade, Uniwell has adopted several practices to help reduce our impact on the environment, including increasing teleconferencing to reduce air travel and implementing recycling and paperless practices in our offices. We've also examined our existing product line.

Reducing the use of solvents in our products
Since 2010, our primary coating line has committed to using a lower percentage of solvents in all of the products we manufacture. This provides a number of benefits, including safer materials handling, less toxic emissions in production and fewer solvents used to clean our manufacturing equipment.
The remaining solvents that we use in the production of our solvent acrylics are now oxidized rather than released into the atmosphere, further reducing our overall emissions.

Using eco-friendly packaging and recycling our waste
All of our cardboard packaging is manufactured with 70% recycled board and is 100% recyclable. The plastic inserts (bungs) used in large roll materials are made of recycled, high-density polyethylene (HDPE). These inserts can be recycled and are marked with the recyclable logo.
We are also in the process of becoming certified to send our production scrap to a reprocessing facility where it can be made into a recycled fuel product.
