Duraweld and the Environment
Duraweld is committed to environmentally responsible business practices and endeavours to achieve sustainable manufacturing throughout its processes. The company believes this is essential for sustaining the future of the business and the quality of life for generations to come. In 2010 it committed to providing customers with “Seriously Green Solutions”.
The company’s goals are enshrined in its Twenty Steps – the core of its Environmental Policy and Environmental Management System.
Mark Yeung (co-Director of Duraweld Ltd) is aware that for Duraweld to achieve its objectives, it is essential for employees to be fully involved and, therefore, takes an active role on the Green Team, which consists of top management and Green Champions representing each department, and encourages the embedding of an environmental ethos throughout the company.
In 2008 BS ISO14001 was achieved. Since that time the company has been listed twice in The Sunday Times Best Green Companies (ranked 39th in 2010 and 28th in 2011), and in 2011 joined Yorkshire & Humber BITC Environmental Index achieving High Scoring New Entrant and joint Carbon Reduction Award winner. The company has committed to putti
ng a summary of the 2011 feedback report into the company domain. In 2011 Duraweld was honoured to be featured in The Prince’s Mayday Network Annual Report. In 2012 Duraweld retained its Silver Band status in the Yorkshire & Humber BITC Environmental Index.
Duraweld endeavours to reduce its carbon emissions; however, is realistic that it will never be carbon neutral. Since 2006 the company has offset its remaining CO2 emissions via co2balance on Gold Standard projects.
Duraweld is a recycling pioneer by being one of the first in the UK manufacturing stationery sector to recycle post production waste to make 100% recycled frosty clear and white polypropylene. The black polypropylene used has over 50% recycled content. You can watch the recycling process for yourself.
A visit to the Feelin Green will offer you a selection of environmentally friendly alternatives, and please contact the customer service team should you have a bespoke product that needs to be made from recycled material.
The company often re-uses packaging it receives when sending goods out. It also offers a free recycling service for its customers’ end of life ring binders. Please send them back to:
Ring Binder Recycling Service, Duraweld Ltd, Salter Road, Eastfield, Scarborough
North Yorkshire, YO11 3UP
Duraweld has an active CSR programme, follow us on twitter and read our Green Update Blog to see what we are doing to support our community and other projects.
The company hopes that all its stakeholders will join them on its sustainable journey.
