Packaging <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our packaging, including our recycled and recyclable mailing sacks, 100% recyclable semi-crepe paper tape, and biodegradable Bio Poly carrier bags. We also make an effort to reuse cardboard boxes and packaging materials, and recycle any damaged boxes on-site. Additionally, by not including a returns form in our parcels, we save a pine tree each month<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Electric Vehicles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also prioritise sustainable practices in our operations. We provide charging stations for our customers’ electric vehicles and have invested in an electric forklift to reduce our environmental impact when moving materials around the site.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Solar Energy & Electricity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When building our new facility in 2019, we made a significant investment in solar panels to offset our electricity usage. The solar panels work by converting light into electricity, and they can even generate power on cloudy days. Additionally, to conserve energy, we have implemented automatic switch-off on all of our lighting systems<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
