Save the Environment

As a responsible company, TILT is assisting to play a small part in safeguarding the world we live in. We have been advising our clients, who are environmental friendly, to use printers who are FSC certified if their budget allows for print production. TILT has a long standing relationship with our printer-partners and coincidentally, they are all FSC certified.

So why should anyone use printers who are FSC certified? Just like using recycled paper, using FSC certified paper helps to protect our environment. The cost is approximately 50-100% more expensive than normal paper. The percentage is dependent on the quantity printed. If clients choose certified printers, we can then include the FSC logo on the artwork.

So what is FSC?
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a certification system that provides internationally recognized standard-setting, trademark assurance and accreditation services to companies, organizations, and communities interested in responsible forestry.

The FSC label provides a credible link between responsible production and consumption of forest products, enabling consumers and businesses to make purchasing decisions that benefit people and the environment as well as providing ongoing business value.

Trying to do the right thing and buying responsibly produced products can be confusing. The FSC label makes it easy to make the right choice when buying timber and paper products as well as other forest products. Here is why choosing FSC makes a difference:

Only FSC
• prohibits conversion of natural forests or other habitat around the world
• prohibits the use of highly hazardous pesticides around the world
• prohibits the cultivation of genetically modified trees (GMOs)
• respects the right of indigenous peoples around the world
• controls each certified operation at least once a year – and if they are found not to comply, the certificate is withdrawn

As such, if the opportunity arises with budget allowances, let’s all try to do our bit to save the environment.

Let’s Play iPhone!

With the release of Apple’s Q4 financial figures, market dominance of iPhone is made clear. The report produced shows record setting quarter for iPhone sales. Apple has increased Iphone sales by 7% to 7.4 million in Q4 surpassing analysts’ estimates which was much below the achieved figures.

In fact, at TILT, at last count, there are 75% users in TILT who uses iPhone. With such an increasing popularity and market dominance of the iPhone, it is no wonder that Singapore Sports Council has now developed an application for anyone to be up to date on Singapore Sports. Interested in the app? All you need to do is to go to App Store and search under Singapore Sports or Let’s Play! Happy reading!
