February 2021 was a huge landmark for us as a company, our head office in Gloucester achieved a zero-landfill mark. It was a 2 ½ year recycling programme that has worked on the resources and processes to lead us towards this goal.

We now have 19 different recycling processes in place, with detailed procedures and compliance activities.

• Paper
• Cardboard
• Aluminium
• Polypropylene
• ABS
• PVC
• Ink Cartridges

When you break down each category there are subsections of recycling. For instance, in the case of card, we reuse boxes where we can. Where we cannot, we pass it through a machine which turns it into a product suitable for us to reuse as layers between PVC and stillages. Where this isn’t possible, it gets crushed into bundles and sold for recycling.

Most of our injection moulding and extrusion machines are highly energy efficient, saving energy by storing electricity via inverters. This means we are able to save up to 80% of energy usage in some cases. Where we can we make products from recycled material.

Our Werbar for example is made from 100% recycled windows and doors and our corner protectors come from recycled Polypropylene. We also rechip and reuse our mould sprues in-house.
