Company Initiatives

A majority of companies are in the same boat; becoming more sustainable to work towards a better future. To do this, you also rely on your supply chain to join you on the initiative, as their improvements contribute to your goals. 

Whilst ultimately our goal is to protect the future and do our bit, we’re proud to support customers and manufacturers who benefit from our sustainability contributions.

Eco Packaging Scheme

Implementing new eco packaging as part of our sustainability scheme not only contributes to our own targets, but also helps support customers who have their own goals to meet.

  • Acrylic tape swapped for Kraft Tape 
  • Jiffy Bags supplied with eco-friendly bubble wrap protection and bubble packaging is eco-friendly

  • Shrink wrap swapped to an eco-friendly alternative made from 30% recycled materials 
  • All standard sized and shaped pallets shipped with 30% recycled shrink wrap surrounding it
