Environmental Policy
We adhere to a policy of supplying products that minimise impact upon the environment wherever practicable and have given formal support to London Remade – a partnership of organisations aiming to improve the way the capital manages its waste and to explore practical opportunities for specifying and purchasing products made from recycled material. Environmentally responsible products in the catalogue containing recycled material include: printer compatible cartridges, paper towels and toilet tissue, refuse sacks, recycling bins, exercise books, copier paper, envelopes, files, marker pens, pencils, pencil cases and rulers.

The Challenge
On average, each household in the UK produces about 1 tonne of rubbish each year – totalling some 27 million tonnes nationwide. (Packaging alone comprises a quarter of all the rubbish placed in the bins). Over 80% of household waste can be recycled, reused or composted, but currently only around 27% is, with the rest either being incinerated or landfilled! (This puts us a long way behind many of our European neighbours who recycle well over 50% of their domestic waste). Europe has set UK industry the target of recovering 60% of all its packaging waste (approx. 5.5 million tonnes) by 2008. Clearly we all have an important role to play in reducing waste.
What You Can Do
Wherever possible, try to reduce the amount of rubbish created. The most efficient form of recycling is simply to
re-use packaging material such as cartons, boxes, bubble-wrap and other protective packaging. Where that isn’t feasible, then plan to recycle your waste materials. This will call for the separation of waste into basic materials e.g. paper, card, glass, cans. Many local authorities now arrange kerbside collections for card and paper and provide community recycling banks for glass and steel/aluminium cans. There are now over 20,000 bottle bank sites in the UK resulting in some 425,000 tonnes of glass being recycled annually. (Contact your local authority’s recycling officer for details of local recycling services).
