Environment
At Business Supplies Direct we are committed to minimise the impacts of our operations on the environment, that is why we do everything we can to ensure we work in a environmentally and responsible manner.
Where possible, we will only use recycled and environmentally friendly products, you will see that all our invoices, delivery notes, statements, credit notes and envelopes etc are all 100% recycled.
We have streamlined our delivery schedule to enhance our carbon-efficiency and because of our comprehensive product range our customers can benefit from all their business supplies from one supplier.
We are continually improving our "green" offering and we can offer our customers a host of "environmentally friendly" products. From recycled paper and envelopes to Fairtrade tea and coffee. Read more info about our recycled products
Our 5 main goals are to:
- reduce waste material by recycling
- re-use products and waste material
- refuse to buy environmentally unfriendly products
- reform materials and use again
- recycle rather than scrap
help us help the environment
Over 2 million non-biodegradable cartridges are thrown away each year in the UK, adding to already overflowing landfill sites.
To assist you in disposing of your cartridges in an efficient environmental manner, and as part of our commitment to help the environment we are offering free cartridge recycle bins to every customer.
Simply place your empty cartridges in these bins and when full, we will collect and recycle them for you free of charge.
