ASDA Business Rewards is committed to ensuring that we have the least possible impact on the environment. We constantly review the sourcing of both product and packaging materials to try and meet these goals. However, packaging does need to meet minimum functional standards and there are minimum strength and quality thresholds that need to be met. Where the use of a recycled material would compromise this and no alternative solution is available we would use a non-recycled material.
We are currently reviewing all aspects of our business and the way we operate to see where further improvements can be made.
Wooden boxes ASDA Business Rewards is committed to ensuring that all the timber used in the course of the construction of the wooden wine boxes has been sourced with the least possible damage to the natural environment. Importantly, no tropical hardwoods are used in any of the products.
Card Wherever possible, ASDA Business Rewards suppliers use recycled material or material with a high recycled content. However there are minimum quality standards that we expect of our products and where recycled material would compromise this, we would use virgin board. Virgin board contains no recycled material it is, however, 100% recyclable.
Recycling We have a large recycling skip at our warehouse which is emptied once a week. All card waste that is not reused is recycled. A certain percentage of card waste is also shredded to use as packing material. All paper waste from the offices is recycled.
Shipping With a large volume of products being manufactured in the Far East we always aim to minimise the impact that shipping our products has on the environment. We always optimise the loading of our containers and only use airfreight in exceptional circumstances. |
