Happy Earth Day

Our sustainability champions, Sam and Sara, wanted to take today to reflect on our Sustainability pledge and how we are working towards a more sustainable future.

Last October, we signed up to a second year of The Stepfoward Pledge by the BPMA. This pledge ensures our progress is monitored and that we progress each year in any way that we can.

For us, progress over the last 2 years has looked like:

• Changing our ‘poly bags’ in our operations section to be made from recycled materials, reducing the plastic use in our packaging. We are proud to say that our packaging now consists of only recycled* or recyclable** materials.
• Expanding our range of more sustainable Tech Gift options. Our ‘Eco Tech range’ now consists of 20 products making up over 20% of our Tech range this includes Wireless Charges, Power Banks and Tech Accessories.
• All our UK Stock products are printed with Gold Green Guard Certified Inks, this certificate assures the inks have met standards for low emissions of VOC***.

We are using Earth Day (22^nd April) to launch our new Sustainability page.

This will house all our important information about our sustainability journey, including our goals for the future and previous achievements.

*Our recycled materials include Recycled PET plastic, Recycled Aluminium and other reused materials. **Our recyclable materials consist of Paper and Cardboard. ***VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds – these are organic chemicals that can evaporate at room temperature.
