Tarma uses environmentally responsible materials and practices wherever we can. We're not perfect, but we're making headway with recycled materials, low waste processes and more aware decisions about our footprint in the world. It's worth our effort for the next generation!
Tarma's 316L stainless has a +60% post-consumer recycled content and ability to be worked in many different finishes. It can be cut or cast and made in many finishes, including brushed and sand blasted. It will never tarnish, is very lightweight and strong. It's a great substitute for gold and silver.
New for 2008 are vacuum plated finishes in faux gold. Environmentallyfriendly vacuum plating doesn't use liquids like electro-plating or anodizing processes, which leave toxic liquid waste that has to be disposed.
For all cord products, Tarma has moved entirely to a recycled yarn from RePly made from PET water bottles and industrial polyester scrap.
All of Tarma's packaging is made from a minimum of 90% post consumer recycled and unbleachedpaper pulp. Even the cord used for the hanger is made from RePly polyester.
The last step in maximizing use of recycled materials and environmentally responsible practices comes in our shipping containers. For envelopes and boxes, we use unbleached mailers and corrugated cardboard with a minimum of 60% post consumer content paper.
