SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
AN ECOLOGICAL AND
RESPONSIBLE COMPANY
Clayrton’s is deeply involved in the environmental concerns of its time.
In addition to French production, which has been maintained since 1968, the company has focused on the quality of its products since 2000 and has moved towards cleaner production. Far from being a brake on creativity, this requirement has strengthened Clayrton’s ability to innovate.

When it comes to packaging, kraft paper has seen tremendous growth in recent years. Clayrton’s offers a wide range of colors and designs, all printed on PEFC-certified paper, a label we obtained in 2009. We chose this label because
because it covers the most forest area in the world and is more established in the European sector.
The PEFC label was created to fight against deforestation and the destruction of forest ecosystems and thus allow a sustainable wood resource. By selecting the wood that will constitute the paper of our packaging, we commit ourselves to preserve the biodiversity of forest ecosystems and not to exhaust the resources of our planet. PEFC also acts to protect the economic and social aspects of local operators and owners as well as all
and local owners as well as all the actors of the wood industry.
In 2019, we have consumed the equivalent of 18 hectares of plantation to cover our needs for PEFC-certified paper, which represents 26 soccer fields: it was clear to us that all of this area must be exploited in a responsible and sustainable manner.
We received a shipment of 18 tons of PEFC-certified 70% recycled natural kraft in March 2023 (which represents a 2-month supply). This does not in any way compromise the PEFC certification of the products made from this material. Our next delivery of recycled natural kraft will be 100% PEFC-certified.
