## Reduction plans

### Reduction action plans
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce the amount of plastics used in our commercial wallcoverings by releasing a PVC free commerical substrate. (source: Raw materials, target: Q1 2024, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We discontinue the use of non-recyclable PVC packaging for our wallcoverings and replaced it with a paper wrapping. (source: Packaging, target: Q1 2024, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Reduce operational waste from our digitally printed wallcovering launches by implementing minimum production runs on new patterns, after which additional lots will be made to order based on demand. (source: Raw materials, target: Q3 2023, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Eliminate single use toner cartridges by replacing office printers with Epson EcoTank printers. (source: Operational waste, target: Q2 2023, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Thatcher will transition 100% of our virgin material (cloth covered) sample display binders to raw chip binders, made from recycled chipboard content. (source: Raw materials, target: Q2 2024, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Thatcher will replace 100% of shipping labels with labels that have a recyclable lining paper. (source: Packaging, target: Q4 2024, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Thatcher will reduce the quantity and weight of print materials included in wallcovering sample packets by Q4 of 2025. (source: Redesign current packaging system to  be lower carbon, target: 2025, completion: 65%)
- **Scope 3** — Thatcher will develop marketing and educational materials to encourage customers to select standard shipping at checkout by Q3 of 2025. (source: Transition to a low carbon customer shipment method, target: 2025, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 1** — Implement energy conservation measures to reduce consumption by Changing thermostat setting in Our (source: Energy at offices or controlled facilities, target: 2026, completion: 0%)
- **Scope 2** — Transition 50% of Heating and Electrical units to renewable energy sources such as solar  through our electric utility in Portland, HQ office (source: Electricity, target: 2026, completion: 0%)
- **Scope 3** — Transition 65% of expedited shipping to Ocean Freight, Ground freight across Commercial samples, Wallcovering and Fabrics (source: Upstream shipping, target: 2026, completion: 0%)
