PACKAGING<br />
All the packaging of a product, throughout the<br />
supply chain.<br />
PACKAGING<br />
Our target is to exceed 30% recycled packaging wherever<br />
possible, including for our best seller lines such as Exel<br />
microfibre cloths. By doing this we are saving 10 tonnes of<br />
virgin plastic a year – that’s on top of diverting seven tonnes<br />
of plastic waste from landfill by reducing the amount of plastic<br />
packaging for mops in 2021.<br />
We’re also recycling all of our end-of-life plastic and card<br />
packaging, and in <strong>2022</strong> we recycled over 116 tonnes of<br />
cardboard and 27 tonnes of plastic packaging. That’s the<br />
equivalent of Blue Whale!<br />
We have also introduced vacuum compressed packaging to<br />
maximise the efficiency of container loads.<br />
For products that require protection during transit, to avoid<br />
the use of plastic bubble wrap we’re now securely shredding<br />
all of our waste documentation and using this as void fill<br />
instead.
