Environmental Policy

At Collarways we are committed to doing our best to reduce our impact on the environment as much as possible. On day to day operations, we actively reuse and recycle what goods we can, such as glass, paper, plastic and metal and wherever possible purchase recycled, environmentally friendly products. We operate low voltage lighting, IT equipment is shut down at night to save energy and we purchase our electricity from a 100% green energy provider, Good Energy. We try to keep transport down to a minimum and have opted for a courier collection twice a week only.

We also would like to encourage our customers to re-use and/or recycle the packaging material in which they receive our products. Please do whatever you can to combat climate change. Here's an easy thing to do: Sign up below with the Prince's Trust Rainforest Project.
