Sustainability

Ensuring that our products last many years is at the heart of our ethos and we strive to make the smallest possible environmental impact from the hardware we produce. 

Our personal philosophy is to care for the planet, and that is how we aim to conduct ourselves in business too. Our sustainability credentials include the following:

  • Endlessly recyclable materials. Unlike plastic, metals are endlessly recyclable. all metal left from machining or fabrication is sent off to be recycled so that it can again be used by the next lucky maker. 
  • Localised production. All our products are made entirely in the UK by us. Where we need to have products finished we use local businesses to us. This means our products may only travel a handful of miles before it is sent to you and every stage of the production can be closely managed to ensure there is as little waste as possible.
  • Recycled packaging. All of our packaging is derived from recycled materials wherever possible. We have even taken the descision to not provide fancy boxes. The reason being, why spend all that extra time and expense to design and make a fancy shiny box for you to go 'WOW that looks cool', which then you rip open and discard into the bin with not a further thought of it, as now you are focused on the real reason for the parcel. 

Adopting this simple idea has helped us keep our costs lower and invest in the products, as ultimately that is why you want to purchase from us, not because you want to fill your bin with cool looking packaging. 

We hope you agree. But if you really do want a shiny box to play with then we can always send you one from our recycling pile.
