Social and environmental issues are at the forefront of public concern. Our goal is to deliver creative products that we “adventurists” enjoy backed by an environmental and socially responsible company.

Recycled packaging
The paper used in our packaging is not less than 95% recycled content and no bleaching process is used in production.

Recycled Stainless Steel
The stainless steel in the Active products is made from 80% recycled material. Stainless is 100% recyclable and easily reclaimed during the waste disposal process. The use of “green” metal like stainless steel is at the core of Tarma’s position on environmental sustainability and how this directly impacts the outdoors. For more information on stainless steel, view the Stainless Steel Industry’s information handbook at:

“More than a century of mining has left the West deeply scarred.”

Fair Trade
Fair trade is especially meaningful to ethically conscious customers in the outdoor and natural products marketplace. For the Artisan products, we work closely with non-profit organizations that are members of IFAT, the International Federation of Alternative Trade, a coalition of the handicrafts and agricultural producer organizations and alternative Trade organizations (both importers and exporters) around the world. Our suppliers adhere to IFAT´s standards of fair trade and to its objectives, and we encourage our buyers and anyone interested in the Fair Trade movement to visit any of the following websites:
