Off-grid storage
Our Chinchilla storage facility operates off-grid, including accommodation, climate control and forklift charging.
Packaging, operations & our next steps
Making more
of what we have.
Reusing cardboard, choosing packaging thoughtfully and improving how we operate are practical parts of our approach to reducing waste.
Explore our approach ↓
01 · Packaging
Give a box another job.
Unused cardboard can become protective packing material for another order.
We shred unused boxes for packaging, helping us make use of material already in our warehouse. Protective packaging still needs to do its main job: help your part arrive safely.
Our published packaging approach also includes compostable postage labels purchased from Ecolabels. Check the label’s disposal guidance and your local facilities.
02 · Operations
Changes behind the scenes.
Electric forklifts
Our published operations programme includes three fully electric forklifts charged off-grid.
Supplier selection
We consider environmental certification when choosing manufacturers, where possible. This is not a claim that every supplier or product holds the same certification.

A contribution beyond our warehouse.
In 2022, we described a programme of monthly sales-based donations to Earth Voice. Contact us if you would like current information about this programme.

Clear steps, clear limits.
Our earlier plans included moving to an electric truck when a suitable option became available. That remains a stated goal here, rather than a claim that the change has already happened.
These are specific practices and plans. We are not claiming that an order, our parts range or our business is carbon neutral.
