Proforma Allows You to Promote Your Business the Responsible Way!
Proforma—your one source for infinite business resources—has made focusing on the three R’s (Reducing, Reusing, and Recyling) a priority! Proforma believes in leading clients toward “green” products whenever possible, thereby helping to reduce the environmental impact of our human presence.

What Proforma Offers...
Proforma offers a wide array of environmentally responsible promotional materials. Mugs and pens made from corn plastic, which unlike petroleum-based plastic is a renewable resource, are a popular option. Cutting boards and apparel made from bamboo are another excellent choice for wowing clients, as bamboo apparel has a luxurious feel similar to that of a cotton/silk blend. Proforma also offers compostable plates and cups, degradable plastic logo bags, and latex balloons. And they offer water bottles that contain the SAFE plastic additive that speeds decomposition.
Proforma offers energy saving devices such as windup flashlights and solar computer backpacks and radios. Proforma offers note pads, padfolios, pens and pencils made from recycled paper as well as custom printed products that are produced with post consumer recycled content and low VOC inks.

A New Business Philosophy...
In this age of increasing environmental awareness, it’s hard to ignore the impact our businesses have on the planet. Many businesses already utilize waste paper recycling programs, practice lean manufacturing, or have policies that reduce energy consumption. For those of us who haven’t already done so, it’s time to take responsibility when it comes to our promotional campaigns and printed materials.

Proforma Urges You to Keep the Three R’s in Mind...
Reducing, the most desirable of the three R’s, involves taking measures to lessen our impact on our world. Products with cleaner, more sustainable materials such as corn plastic or organic cotton are good examples. These materials offer an alternative to unsustainable energy sources and reduce the amount of toxic waste in the environment.
Reusing is a decision and an action comprising repeated usage instead of disposal. When determining product selection, permanence and functionality are important considerations. The more a product is used and the longer it lasts, the less impact on the environment.
Recycling entails breaking down and rebuilding products into new useable goods. The options for recycled products is endless. From recycled paper and plastic to glass and leather, you are sure to find a material that supports your commitment to the planet.
