Net Zero Journey

Design for end-of-life – encouraging customers/designers to think about how a product can be easily disassembled and sorted for recycling at the end of its life – it’s not waste, it’s resource.

Energy efficiency: Investment in newer, energy-efficient machinery and processes – simple machine adjustments save significant amounts of energy! All machines connected to power monitoring software. All our energy comes from renewable sources. 

Solar panels: 55kw array installed on our new building

Infrared heating: Replacing inefficient gas with focussed heating

Materials: We are working with many suppliers to develop recycled materials, including recovered lab waste, recovered fishing gear, post-industrial waste and mouldable seaweed that is 100% compostable in the same way fruit & veg are. We have in-house polymer recycling capabilities too.

Waste Reduction: On-site recycling of plastic waste, all cardboard and jazz PE baled on site for local recycling
