Recycling

Within our offices we recycle as many products as possible including paper, plastic, packaging, toner and print cartridges and computers. We try to keep

all waste to a minimum and work with suppliers who are actively introducing their own environmentally friendly processes.

Specific Aims

  • Cultivate a work ethic with a high level of awareness of waste minimisation and recycling within the business.

  • Promote economy in the use of paper and the selection of print formats and document styles in line with this.

  • Encourage the purchase of recycled materials and those which are suitable for disposal by recycling.

  • Favour suppliers who remove packaging as part of their supply contract and obligations and who operate according to sound environmental principles.

  • Minimise waste by encouraging the exchange, and reuse of equipment and materials amongst departments.

  • Develop a waste management strategy which accommodates reuse and recycling procedures and initiatives for all active sites.

  • Develop a range of company wide recycling schemes in line with our employee suggestion scheme.

  • Encourage departments to establish local recycling schemes which are relevant to their individual activities.

 

We are also constantly assessing our energy usage and reducing it where possible. We encourage all employees to take an active role in this by switching off all unused equipment and keeping lights and heating / air conditioning switched down when possible. We try to buy in equipment which is rated as more energy efficient including flat panel monitors and computers with a high performance to low watt ratio.
