Growing environmental awareness has led national and international companies in all sectors to adopt practices based on the principles of sustainability. This is the case with Tributus, which has distinguished itself in the design, development, and production of medals, trophies, and other types of awards through its commitment to reducing its environmental footprint. In this article, we share some of the practices that Tributus has implemented.

The use of sustainable and eco-friendly materials

The option to develop and produce awards using eco-friendly and sustainable materials is at the heart of Tributus—this decision was already in place when our company was founded. The use of these materials promotes the responsible consumption of natural resources and helps to reduce waste and the amount of plastic waste discarded in the environment. Our Our range of materials is eco-friendly and includes natural, renewable, and biodegradable materials, as well as recycled and recyclable materials.

Efficient production processes

Another sustainable practice is the implementation of efficient production processes, such as:
• a sustainable supply chain, which allows us to manage resources responsibly, avoiding waste and promoting energy efficiency;
• production techniques production with low environmental impact, such as laser engraving and UV printing, which consume less energy and produce less waste.

Sustainable packaging

Our packaging is made from recycled and biodegradable materials, and we have replaced bubble wrap with honeycomb paper. This practice not only reduces the use of plastics but also facilitates the recycling of packaging.
When it comes to sustainability, studies and reports conducted by entities such as the European Environment Agency (EEA) and WWF Brazil have concluded that:
1. the production of metals and plastics contributes significantly to gas emissions and the rapid degradation of the planet;
2. Recycled plastic avoids the extraction of oil, a non-renewable and extremely polluting natural resource;
3. The use of recycled materials reduces the energy required to produce metals such as aluminum by up to 95% and plastics by up to 70%;
4. Plastic recycling reduces energy consumption by up to 90% and employs labor;
5. The production of recycled paper prevents the felling of trees and reduces pollutants released into the atmosphere by 74% and those dumped into waterways (rivers and tributaries, sea) by 35%;
6. It reduces chemical processes and prevents environmental pollution: it reduces pollutants released into the air by 74% and those dumped into water by 35%, in addition to saving trees;
7. The adoption of efficient production processes helps to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 40%;
8. Economic sustainability (including the circular economy) depends on recycling.

The data revealed by the studies prove the importance of the sustainable practices adopted by Tributus and demonstrate the need for society to assume, maintain, and commit to the same commitment as our company..
