SUSTAINABILITY
It is important to us to play our part in reducing our footprint.
We are constantly looking at ways of improving manufacture and delivery to reduce waste, while using as many recycled and recyclable materials and components as possible.
We whole-heartedly subscribe to the idea of Reduce, Re-use and Recycle!

Ensuring that CO2 emissions are considered in the purchase of company vehicles. All company cars are now 100% electric. We are looking into the possibility of swapping our vans over to electric in the near future.
We have selected heavy goods delivery partners that operate a zero carbon offset delivery
OKKURA machine manufacture and recycling
Our machines have been manufactured to last. They are all manufactured in a responsible manner, when they do reach the end of their life the machines are 100% recyclable. We can take the machines back to our workshop to be stripped down. We can use components as spares and large material sections can be recycled.
