Our Passion for Green

At Shnier, we share a passion for beautifying living & working spaces; and we care just as much about the beauty of the natural world around us. That's why, under our "Environmentality" initiative, we seek to minimize the impact our products and services have on the natural world around us. After all, that's the most precious living space of all.

Shnier’s numerous “environmentality” green initiatives include donating excess inventory to Habitat for Humanity rather than sending it to landfill sites. The company conducts annual energy audits to track progress made on energy reduction initiatives. All shipping materials such as corrugate and plastic wrap are recycled as are printer cartridges. A “buy-back” program pays customers a return fee for empty wooden pallets and cardboard tubes. All internal printer paper, garbage bags, and sanitary paper products are from recycled sources.
