• We assess our suppliers to ensure that they are buying from wood mills that are committed to sustainability
• We recycle almost all of our waster sending very little to landfill
• We collect the shaving and dust and send this to company that use it in a variety of ways from pet bedding to making wood briquettes
• Any shaving/dust that may not be good enough for these markets we can make into briquettes as we have our own wood briquette making machine
• All our offcuts are stored throughout the summer and utilised in the winter to heat our workshop and help to dry our spray drying room
• All the paints that we use are water based
• We only use low environment glues in creating bonding solutions
• All our paint tins are recycled and sent to a metal recovery company
• We separate all our plastics and cardboard and allow companies to collect them on a sporadic basis
• We have full LED lighting in all locations
