Our Goals

One of our aims to improve our sustainability, is by focusing on our customers sustainable goals. This can include reviewing the products they use and whether they can switch to something more sustainable. This in turn can benefit our customers as well as reducing plastic or chemical usage and waste.

Responsible Product Sourcing

We prioritize trying to source materials from within our local area to ensure negative environmental impacts and reduce our carbon footprint.

Renewable and Recycled Resources

We are helping our customers reduce their amount of single usage plastics championing the use of renewable resources and recycled materials into our product range. By offering alternatives when taking orders from customers we can discuss their choice of products and give them the opportunity to look at something different ensuring the materials we can offer are ethically produced and conserving natural resources and reducing overall environmental impact. By asking questions about how often they are using them and what they are trying to achieve. Gives them the opportunity to use a more environmentally friendly product.

Low Impact Packaging

We strive to reduce packaging waste by employing eco-friendly packaging solutions.  All our packaging that can not be re-used is recycled and separated therefore minimizing waste generation. Our packaging material are designed to be minimalistic, reusable and recyclable ensuring that they contribute as little as possible to landfills.

Carbon Footprint Reduction

We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint by implementing measures to decrease energy consumption in the insulation of our warehouse and shop, optimize transportation routes and utilise cleaner energy sources by ensuring that 100% of our vans are all Euro 6 Compliant (an eco-friendly standard to reduce levels of harmful car and van exhaust emissions). Thereby contributing to global efforts to combat climate change.
