Our sustainability commitment at Wexel Art

Why we act on plastic

In the picture framing industry, there is an incredible amount of waste: frames only fit one size art image, mat boards and moulding have extensive remnants. In an industry where scrap materials are wasted, Wexel Art prides itself on reusing and repurposing scrap materials.

More than
2 billion people worldwide
dispose of their trash in nature because there are no waste collection services.

Through our partnership with CleanHub, we fund waste collection in coastal communities where services were previously unavailable or not affordable.

This year we're supporting these sustainability projects

Through CleanHub, we fund projects that collect plastic waste - either directly from nature, at community collection points or directly from local households. The plastic is then sorted and any material that can be recycled is reused. Plastic that cannot be recycled is used as an alternative fuel in cement production, replacing coal and gas. This prevents the plastic from entering the environment again.
