Our sustainability journey

At Memorace, we strive to create artworks that not only celebrate your achievements, but also  protect our planet. We believe in making conscious choices that reduce our impact on the  environment while supporting local creators. Here are some of our sustainability initiatives: 

Local artists and illustrators: We work with artists and illustrators in the region where the race is  held, which not only provides a unique artistic connection to the location, but also strengthens the  local community and creative industries.

Sustainable paper: All paper used for printing is EU Ecolabel and FSC labeled, meaning it meets  strict environmental requirements throughout the production process. This ensures that our artworks  are not only beautiful but also sustainably produced with respect for the forest ecosystem and the  environment. 

Local printing: Our goal is to try to print as locally as possible. We always consider where the  majority of participants in a race live and choose our printing partner based on this. For example,  for Uppsala Marathon, we printed in Uppsala as most participants live in the Uppsala region. This  reduces transportation distances and contributes to a more sustainable supply chain, while  supporting the local economy. 

More efficient shipping: We collect all orders and print and ship only once a week. This allows us  to minimize unnecessary emissions from transport while streamlining our process for both you as a  customer and the environment. 

We recognize that sustainability is a journey, and we are continuously working to find new ways to  reduce our environmental impact and improve our processes. Together, we can create positive  change, one milestone at a time.
