Earth stewardship is a root value at beingu.com

Consideration of the natural environment is an essential element of everything we do. It’s more than not throwing litter on the ground or recycling. It’s a mindset, an attitude and a commitment to making choices that reflect our respect, appreciation and purposeful protection of the Earth. Furthermore, no matter how well we think we're doing at doing our part – we're always looking for more and better ways to finesse our enviro-mentality.

Beingu.com Environmental Policies in Practice:

No Waste, by Design
At Being Unlimited, everything is intentionally designed and calculated to ensure a minimum of waste. A 3-up form, promo piece, or even internal memo is designed to fit exactly into quarter, half, or full sheets of standard size economy bond paper (8 1/2 X 11). We apply the same design criteria to all Being Unlimited products and projects.

10% + 100 mile Buying rule
Suppliers are chosen, in part, by our 10% rule. All things being equal, we buy within our local community. To stay in our local vicinity, we'll pay 10% - 12% more for any given product. Should it be necessary to go beyond local to get what we need, we stretch our local boundary … incrementally using the 100 mile philosophy. Purchasing supplies from the other side of the planet and saddling the environment with the costs of long distance travel to 'save a buck', is outside our mandate.

Product Packaging
Less is more when it comes to how we package products that are produced onsite. To do our part to keep waste to a minimum, small pieces and parts are packaged in the closest custom fitted size to be practical. We use only re-sealable bags and bottles and avoid excess wherever possible. The container choices we make encourage our customers to reuse the packaging .

Parcel Packaging
Styrofoam packing peanuts, bubble wrap and glossy stocks are strictly rejected. We use newspaper, newsprint, shredded office paper, fibre fill and unvarnished corrugated boxes instead.
