About Hueneye
Our Mission
As a large purchaser of paper, our advocacy and purchasing preferences can create positive change all along the paper supply chain. We work with our paper suppliers to grow our use of FSC and post-consumer waste papers. Currently, 70% of all paper we purchase contains post-consumer waste fibre.
Our Vision
& Values
Operating
with Integrity
Client Focus
​
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) is a global not-for-profit organization that sets the standard for responsibly managed forests world-wide, both environmentally and socially.
​
In 2004, Hemlock became the first FSC certified printer in the Pacific Northwest to embrace this gold standard chain-of-custody certification as the leading model for sustainable forest management. We are proud of the continued growth in FSC paper usage by our clients, which now exceeds 90% of the stock on which we print, a 10% increase from 2016.
Post-consumer waste (PCW) paper contains fibres that have served their purpose as a consumer item and been redirected from the landfill. Using paper that contains PCW saves resources such as water, energy and trees and diverts solid waste from the landfill and GHG emissions from entering the atmosphere.
​
Hemlock creates customized Environmental Benefits Statements based on the percentage of PCW fibre in a print job, which can be used to clearly demonstrates your environmental commitment.
The success of our clients is important to us, and while our priority is print, we foster communication and long term relationships with our clients to make sure we understand their business needs and challenges.
