Our recycling policy

In order to do our very best to preserve the environment we have taken several steps to save energy and expense.
We do our best to recycle as much packaging material as possible.
Almost all of our packaging for larger parcels is re-used packaging that our suppliers have used to send orders to us, such as cardboard and bio-degradable plastics.
We also recycle any of our left over packaging using a national waste disposal and
re-cycling company.

We have recently upgraded to a more efficient office printer for producing invoices which uses less toner and prints both sides whenever possible.
Our new printer is an energy efficient model, and goes to sleep when idle to save energy.

We have decided to stop using a fax machine and send documents by email.
We have succesfully established a system whereby our copy invoices are saved electronically, rather than as a paper copy which saves a huge amount of paper and space.
We are working on the feasability of producing invoices for customers on demand rather than as a matter of course.

Within our shop we have an ongoing process of using more efficient methods of working and replacing items with energy saving alternatives where possible, including lighting, heating systems and even the kettle, which works quite hard at times.

Whist we appreciate our parcels aren't always the most exiting things to arrive at your house, at least you can rest assured that no Orang-utans have been made homeless by us during the course of getting your microwave repaired.
This makes us all feel better (including the Orang-Utans), saves money, fuel, and most important of all helps the environment.
