In today’s World we feel that caring for the environment is not just a moral concern, it also makes good business practice for us. From the initial design we aim to minimise the use of new materials and optimise recycling. Where we can, we try to modulise components which can minimise packaging and transport requirements as well as maximising the potential to re-use or re-fresh the displays in the future. We have many internal initiatives underway to reduce waste and energy use in our production processes. Our latest efficient machines reduce waste and assist us in recycling waste materials. This has resulted in us reducing our own skip capacity to landfill by 75% over the last 5 years. Unlike some retail display companies, because all of our manufacturing facilities are under one roof we therefore eliminate any sub-contractor delivery requirements which in-turn reduces our carbon footprint.Our goal is to continually improve our environmental performance which in turn will help our clients reduce their retail display carbon footprint. Hopefully you will have noticed that we have a black background website, there is an environmental reason for this. A black computer screen reduces the amount of energy your computer uses whilst you are on this site. We can all do our own small bit, so why don’t you change your internet search engine to ‘Blackle’ the ‘Google’ energy saving search engine site to help lower your energy use. On your Bike!!!......that’s what we have encouraged our workforce to do. We have adopted the Cycle to Work program which has many benefits:- Reduces air pollution Reduces local congestion Improves employee health |
