Eco-friendly use of packaging material

We avoid packaging waste wherever possible.

It is not possible to completely eliminate protective packaging for our products, such as that used when they are transported in containers. We have, however, taken a raft of measures to reduce packaging waste wherever possible.
  • The removal of plastic bags from our stores. For many years, we have only been providing sturdy, reusable bags in-store.
     
  • Hang tags are made from FSC-certified paper (FSC® – Forest Stewardship Council® – is an international certification system for more sustainable forestry).
     
  • Gradual changeover of plastic transport packaging to 100% recycled bags.
     
  • Binding hazardous substance guidelines as per our Green Book, including supplier packaging.
     
  • Optimised frequency of deliveries to our stores: fewer, larger consignments rather than many smaller consignments delivered on a daily basis.
