The Sustainability In Licensing Conference 2023 takes place tomorrow, Wednesday, 8 November, at the Royal Geographical Society, London.
With the great strides made on naked cards, biodegradable glitter, the use of recycled and recyclable board and envelopes, and even designs made using beach-scavenged plastics and glass, sustainability is something the greeting card industry is very familiar with.
As testament to this, among those to have already confirmed their attendance at SiLC are card and calendar publishers UK Greetings, Danilo and Carousel Calendars – all POC members and each making encouraging headway in their respective sustainable development journeys.
