Why We Love It

All Ray Hooper Design products are printed with 100% sustainable vegetable inks on 100% recycled, FSC and Rain Forest Alliance certified papers, made  with 100% renewable energy, right here in the USA.

Made in the USA

Domestically manufactured goods eliminate the emissions and other environmental costs associated with foreign manufacturing and overseas transport.

Natural Material

Any material that comes from plants, animals, or minerals and is used without significant modification or processing. Natural materials include biotic materials, such as wood and natural fibers, and inorganic materials including stone, metal, and clay.   

Recycled

Made from old materials that have been collected, sorted and processed into raw material. The recycling stream uses what would otherwise become waste to make new products, reducing the consumption of virgin resources and the pollution generated with waste disposal.

Non Toxic

Made of ingredients that do not adversely affect human or pet health.

Resource Conserving

Products that perform the same job as their traditional alternatives while using fewer resources. This can include energy or water efficient items that save on utilities such as CFL lightbulbs or low-flow shower heads.

Forest Stewardship Council

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-profit organization established in 1993 to promote sustainable management of the world’s forests. It sets the standards for responsible forestry, and certifies and labels timber products. The FSC program offers customers around the world the ability to choose socially and environmentally responsible alternatives.
