Our Environment
​
Through investment in alternative, green energy supply, state-of-the-art electric injection moulding machines and innovative and sustainable cooling systems we have managed to maintain an energy neutral manufacturing process since 2018.
We have committed to investing in electrical vehicles for the distribution of our products and have encouraged the use of electric scooters amongst our employees on their commute to work. We have sourced, support and promote the use of recycled plastics for a range of our packaging products and our aim is to work with our partners in a drive to create a circular economy by promoting the easy recyclability of plastic if products are disposed of properly.
