Catalogues and Marketing Materials
All of our catalogues and Furniture Guides are now printed on paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.
In 2007, 75 percent of Crate and Barrel catalogues had either 10 percent post-consumer waste and/or paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), an international nonprofit organization that promotes environmental and socially responsible forest management. We are pleased to announce that beginning in 2008, every catalogue and Furniture Guide we publish will now be printed on FSC-certified paper.

Post-consumer recycled paper. And paperless catalogues.
Beginning in 2008, most catalogues will be printed on paper that is from 10 to 30 percent post-consumer recycled material, and Furniture Guides will be printed on 30 percent post-consumer recycled material. We will also only use paper that is bleached without elemental chlorine. We also provide an online catalogue, viewable page by page, for those who do not wish to receive paper catalogues by mail.
Discovering new papers and technologies.
In the past several years, we have converted our catalogues to a lighter-weight paper and reduced the size of several catalogue formats. We have also improved a particular series of catalogues by changing to a paper that utilizes fewer trees, requires less energy and outputs fewer chemicals into the environment. We have diligently worked to improve our database to make sure our mailing lists are up to date and accurate to avoid mailing duplicates and undeliverable catalogues.
A new Paper Purchasing Policy company-wide.
In 2007, Crate and Barrel developed a new Paper Purchasing Policy which we consider to be a living document that will evolve and improve as we explore new alternatives. We know that this will be a multi-year, multi-phase project. We will review and monitor our standards with our publishing suppliers and partners so that we can track our progress as we continue to implement new environmental programs, and as we seek out new information and technology as it becomes available.
