Thredgards - The Environment

Environmental issues are some of the hottest topics on the planet and we are passionate about how we can help here at Thredgards.

We recycle all of our plastic waste products on site by sorting, granulating and re-processing into new products.

Our waste cardboard, paper and plastic bags are recycled locally (www.recycleit.org.uk) resulting in a minimum of waste going to landfill.

Overall, through measurement of the amount of waste we produce, we can say that through careful management and a firm commitment from our staff, we have reduced the amount of waste we send   to landfill significantly. In fact we send only an average size wheely bin out once a week, not much more than an average household.

The heating system for our premises is run from fresh air using an external heat pump with minimal electricity.

We've begun a major phased investment in replacing our injection moulding machines with more environmentally friendly versions. We also recycle the water the machines use.

We source our raw materials and packaging from environmentally conscious companies wherever possible.

With the combination of our environmental measures and our UK based manufacturing, you can be assured that the products you receive have a minimal carbon footprint.

We have the facility to produce our LDPE products in a Bio-Compostable format so when in contact with soil e.g. at landfill, the products degrade over a 4-5 year period.

Please do not hesitate to contact us about this option.
