We are making a more sustainable Springpack
We are making a more sustainable Springpack
As company, we are offering more and more eco friendly products so that our customers can be more environmentally conscious with their packaging choices. We don’t stop there when it comes to sustainability though – We’re also conscious about our own carbon footprint.
Here are some of the ways we’re being mindful about our recycling and waste choices.
How do we do it?
We pre–sort 91% of our waste on site, which is split between general waste and dry mixed recycling. After that our waste management company, Biffa, re-sort and divert a total of 95% to recycling and just 5% to landfill. We’re working even harder to get to 98% too!
We are proud to hold he ISO14001: environmental management accreditation. This shows our commitment to investing time and resources into our environmental responsibility.
As well as selling eco-friendly products to our customers, we use them as much as possible too. For example, we are now using paper tape on almost all of the packages we sent out to customers. This has replaced the more traditional PP tape.
We are adding the Simply Eco range from Springpack, and we’re adding fantastic new products all the time. In January we’ll be launching a new range of Bubblewrap which contains 30% recycled content!
We’re mindful of the Plastic Tax which will be coming into force from 2022. We’re starting to look at how this will impact us as a company, so we can be better prepared when the tax comes into play in April of that year.
Springpack have found research where 61% of consumers say they’re likely to switch to a more environmentally friendly brand. Therefore we try to educate our customers on how to make changes. Not only for the environment, but also because people are looking for ways to minimise their carbon footprint. This could even impact their buying habits.
Being environmentally friendly works through the entire supply chain. And we’re reviewing our whole supply chain, to arrive at the most eco friendly option available to us.
Think sustainability, think Springpack!
