Brief 2: RSA Fair Play - Material consideration for manufacturing

The board game/the box itself is made from locally and widely recycled pine and the counters are also madefrom locally recycled timber. It is ideal to find wood stock that is FCS and/or PEFC certified as they have a list of local certified suppliers and companies that help protect the forest and biodiversity is more likely to be considered and protected. For the board game to be certified and having the logo of the FCS and PEFC,it would allow consumers to see that the product has been produced in consideration of the environment;by reusing and re-purposing old wood material into something that can benefit something else such as the board game, this influence the consumer to reuse and recycle the board game if necessary, which wouldcarry on the process of the material to being used for another purpose.The wooden box inspiration came from the wooden chess board games.The multi-functional use and durability makes the wooden box idea seem suitable for the board game.

The paper stock used for the cards, instructions leaflet and the outer sleeve will also be used from recycled and sustainable paper stock, that has been processed from landfill and made into paper stock such as cotton or fibre.The H-UV offset printing method allows the prints to be printed in high quality, full-colour even on the roughest of paper stocks and the UV is fast-drying and so is able to produce prints quicker and saves energy as it uses 63% less power to run.As H-UV is a type of UV printing method, it allows for the same benefits such as being rub-resistant therefore, this method can be used to create the board game design itself. H-UV is enviromentally-friendly and is the only UV printing method that produce any noxious O3 fumes and emits 75% less CO2 which allows for a safe indoor environment for workers and a overall cleanerenvironment.
