Environment Policy

Our aim is to manage and reduce our range of products that impact or are harmful to the environment. We will recycle and reuse refurbished or recycled products and materials to reduce waste and use economically suitable alternatives where possible.

Our Product Standards

Our wide range of wildlife products are designed to a high standard and to suit individual environments. We comply with EU regulations for sourcing sustainable timber and plant material for any products that use those mediums. Our products will use environmentally friendly recycled high-density plastic and FSC certified cardboard where possible.

Our Packaging

Packaging plays a critical role in the customer delivery experience, and we are committed to delivering products safely and sustainable. We assess our packaging requirements closely to ensure we strike the right balance between sustainability and durability especially during transit to our customers. We recycle our used cardboard by converting it into shredded packing material for use in despatch of orders.

We continuously look for new developments in the packaging industry for more sustainable options to enable us to make better ecological decisions. The subject is complex, so to help us decide which material may be more sustainable for the future than those we already use, we focus on innovative information from the industry, our suppliers, external experts and partners. We incorporate carbon footprint, bio-based and naturally grown ingredients into our decision-making process.

Carbon Footprint and the Future

To minimise the negative impact and to protect our environment we continuously look at new innovative packaging developments from within the industry, external experts, our suppliers and green partners. All decisions that are implemented will support a more sustainable bio-based and naturally grown ingredients within our carbon footprint and will help protect the environment and reduce pollution.
