Sustainability
When Case Depot was born, it was imperative that we struck a balance between high quality durability, and as low an impact on the environment as possible.
Our aim is to work with partners who put sustainability at the front of their business model, whilst supporting local jobs and communities in America, across Europe, Australia and South Korea.
No matter your choices, make them greener
At Case Depot, we endeavour to be a sustainable, ethical business, and strive to ensure we mitigate our impact on the environment, whilst actively benefiting the communities in which we work.
Fulfil locally
Our goal is to “localise” our global business. According to the International Transport Forum, international trade-related freight transport is responsible for 7% of all carbon emissions globally. By working with a print partner who operates an international network of print labs — connected by software — our products are produced closer to the end consumer to significantly reduce carbon emissions.
Eco friendly products
We offer a wide range of eco-friendly print on demand products. All our phone cases and watch straps are recyclable, and our Bio Range is 100% biodegradable and 100% compostable, meaning even less impact upon our environment.

All our products are printed using water based inks.
​
Our products are shipped in rigid, corrugated cardboard boxes made from recycled materials.
​
All inner packaging is upcyclable and recyclable.
​
We always choose products with the highest possible recycled content to include in our eco-friendly ranges.
Sustainable supply chain
Alongside our own internal measures, we look to partner with like-minded companies, who are continually working to improve the sustainability of both their products and services.
Suppliers who are ISO 14001, ISO 24000 or ISO 26000 compliant are preferable, where possible, as are print partners who opt for renewable energy over standard grid electricity.
We insist upon our print partners adhering to anti-child labour and anti-forced labour regulations, as well as them being able to providing traceability for all core raw materials.
Our sustainability action plan
The heart of our business is sustainability, and we manage out processes closely to control and mitigate our environmental impacts. We employ measurable objectives in order to keep our sustainability on track.
These include;
Improving energy efficiency wherever possible: this includes utilising energy efficient IT, energy efficient appliances & lighting.
Reduce all water consumption: including the consumption of only tap not bottled water.
Reduce waste to landfill: waste is minimised and recycled wherever possible.
Reduce materials usage: choosing locally sourced, recycled and reusable goods where practicable, as well as committing to digital only marketing resources.
Reduce transport carbon emissions: for our customers, by printing as local to them as possible, and for our staff — working from home wherever possible.
Promote ethical procurement: by making ethical and sustainability factors key criteria in our selection of suppliers.
