Sustainable Business
OUR PURPOSE:
The culture at greenray is rooted in sustainable social, environmental and economic practices that promote a healthy spirit of living for our creative collaborators and customers, and further contributes to building healthy communities around the world. We take into consideration all parts of the business process from raw materials to end-of-life use. All design, production, sourcing and business decisions are made with the intention of being environmentally responsible and conserving the world's natural resources. Our shirts are made from 100% organic cotton and low-impact dyes. We use recycled materials whenever possible, and ship our products in recyclable packaging. We are always looking for new ways to do what we do better and greener, and will continue to choose green business solutions for our needs.
BUSINESS THE GREENRAY WAY:
Electronic first, paper second. We love the beauty, oxygen, and surface shade that our trees provide. Rather than bringing down the several trees that it takes to make a single sheet of paper, we conduct as much of our business as possible electronically. When we do use paper, we make the smartest choices we can about how it is made, used, and recycled. For our company stationary we use Mohawk Beckett Concept Paper, which Mohawk made to be the most environmentally responsible paper available. This FSC certified 100% recycled and post-consumer content paper is manufactured with wind-generated electricity and was the paper industry's first premium paper brand certified as carbon neutral. Our stationary is also printed with earth-friendly soy inks that are kinder to our environment. We use our website with its beautiful portfolio of product photos in place of printing catalogs or brochures. Any in-office paper gets used on both sides before going to the recycle bin. We get very creative with using all available paper space for penning lyrics and tablature, doodling Ray’s exciting adventures, making grocery lists, and writing love notes.
