We recognise that our operations as a business have an effect on the local, regional and global environment and as such strive to reduce these impacts wherever possible. We are committed to continuous improvements and will strive to meet or exceed environmental regulations, laws and codes of practice. Where no such legislation exists, we will set our own standards as consideration of the environment is a key element of operating in a socially responsible manner.

• We consider the environmental impacts of products we purchase and dispose of

• We use as much of the packaging that goods are sent to us in as possible

• We reuse card and bubble wrap from deliveries to protect fragile items

• We Freecycle envelopes and bubble wrap when we have too much

Whilst recycling reduces impact on the environment, reusing items can often be a better environmental option. www.freecycle.org is a way to pass on your unwanted items to someone who could make use of it for free.

Purchasing: herever possible we purchase recycled paper and envelopes. We also re-use envelopes and packaging used to supply our goods to us where it is appropriate to do so. As such you may receive your items in boxes that have already been used, although we generally do not send goods out in used envelopes. Under no circumstance will your item be shipped in packaging unsuitable to protect it during transit.

Printing: herever possible our documents are printed double sided. We also strengthen our commitment to the environment by not printing documents needlessly. Any surplus paper that we have, for example, following changes to letterheads, is not discarded but is used in other ways, for example as notepaper or  in the fax machine.  As a customer, you will receive an e-mail invoice for your order. We will not send printed invoices unless our customers request them or, unless a large order for several items has been placed.

We actively discourage organisations from sending hard copy documents/brochures etc. unless this is unavoidable. Thus helping to reduce transportation effects on the environment.

Recycling/Waste Management: We recycle all unwanted paper, envelopes and cards. We also recycle CDs, plastic bottles, tin cans and packaging, toner cartridges and mobile phones in a responsible manner.

We collect postage stamps for training Guide Dogs for the Blind. As an eBay trader, some people pay us with cheques or postal orders and it's great to be able to give something back. (If you would like information on this scheme, please visit the GDBA website (link opens in new window). They also recycle mobile phones and inkjet toners.

Energy Saving: We purchase energy saving light bulbs and where appropriate, keep lights turned off wherever possible. Machines are switched off at the end of each day or when we are out of the office for several hours. The heating of our premises is turned off during summer months and only turned back on when it is actually cold at an appropriate temperature for the weather.
