Like many of our customers, we strive to minimize our impact on the environment with green business practices. We are lucky to be headquartered in Portland, Oregon, an especially eco-conscious city that boasts a superb recycling program. Thus, we recycle a large amount of paper, plastics, cardboard and other material.

For many companies, shipping materials can be a substantial source of waste and cost. Currently, AlphaCard is reusing nearly 25% of incoming boxes. Also, we reuse packing materials from incoming shipments to cushion some outgoing orders. When possible, we cushion outgoing packages with shredded paper. Not only is it a virtually free packing material, this method reuses paper that is otherwise unrecyclable.
AlphaCard is aiming to reduce, reuse and recycle throughout our office and shipping department. And in the spirit of Earth Week we are making it easier for you to shop for earth-friendly products in our forthcoming Green ID store section.
