Our Climate Commitment
Stay Green: Learn About Climate Change
At Empire Rolling, we're not just in the business of creating premium rolling papers—we’re deeply committed to preserving the environment and mitigating climate change. We believe that every business has a responsibility to make environmentally conscious decisions, and we’ve taken significant steps to ensure that our operations reflect this commitment.
Understanding Climate Change
Climate change refers to long-term changes in global temperatures and weather patterns. While these changes occur naturally, human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial practices, have accelerated the process. The impacts are vast, affecting ecosystems, weather patterns, and sea levels, and pose serious threats to our planet.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainable Hemp Production and Packaging
Our belief in sustainability drives us to make choices that positively impact the planet. We’ve chosen hemp for all our packaging and products because hemp is a natural, renewable resource that requires minimal water and no pesticides to grow. This eco-friendly alternative significantly reduces our carbon footprint. By using hemp, we’re not only providing high-quality products but also contributing to a healthier, more sustainable environment.
International Partnerships for a Greener Future
Empire Rolling is committed to global change. We’re partnering with international countries to transition their production from traditional wood-based materials to sustainable hemp. This shift not only reduces deforestation but also promotes a greener, more eco-conscious industry. By working with these countries, we’re helping to create a sustainable supply chain that benefits both the environment and local economies.
Partnership with the Rainforest Foundation
We’ve taken our commitment a step further by partnering with the Rainforest Foundation, an organization dedicated to preserving the world’s rainforests. These forests are crucial in the fight against climate change, acting as the planet’s largest terrestrial carbon sink by absorbing vast amounts of carbon dioxide.
Through our partnership, a portion of every purchase you make goes towards protecting and sustainably developing the rainforests. This support helps indigenous communities uphold their rights and manage their lands, which play a critical role in combating climate change globally.
How You Can Help: Tips for a Greener Lifestyle
While climate change is a global challenge, individual actions can make a big difference. Here are some simple ways you can contribute to a healthier planet:

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Minimize waste by reusing items, recycling whenever possible, and reducing your consumption of single-use plastics.
-
Choose Sustainable Products: Opt for products made from renewable resources, like hemp, and those that have minimal environmental impact.
