Recycling
Please recycle your calendar or diary once it has been used.
Many of our calendar and diary products now carry the recycling logo on the back cover, to encourage customers to recycle the item once it has been used. The majority of our products are made from responsibly sourced paper and so can be disposed of in recycling bins. The outer shrink wrap packaging is increasingly being accepted in recycling bins, so please check with your local recycling authority.

Further Steps We Are Taking
- Using other materials for outer packaging, or even getting rid of outer packaging altogether.
- Replacing the outer plastic packaging with a cardboard envelope or wraparound cover secured with a sticker.
- Replacing the plastic stand in our box calendars with cardboard, which has resulted in a four tonne reduction in plastic use.
