The Circular Economy
The foundation of any sustainability policy; we’re committed to supporting the transition towards a circular economy by challenging ourselves to focus on the four core steps:
- Reduce the unnecessary use of raw materials and the amount of waste we produce.
- Reuse materials where possible, especially those that may have been considered disposable.
- Recycle items that are at the end of their lifecycle into something new and useful.
- Rethink our use and choice of products in the first instance, is there a more sustainable solution?
Our ultimate aim is to reduce to a minimum the amount of waste we produce as a business.
