People are becoming more aware of what they need to do to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle to limit the impact of climate change. At Cut Plastic Sheeting, we recognise that it is important to take the necessary steps to develop a sustainable business model, to help reduce our impact on the environment. We have put in place several processes that allow us to operate in an eco-friendly way, as well as giving our customers the opportunity to purchase eco-friendly products. One contributor that continues to pollute the environment is plastic waste. Being based in Devon, we are fortunate to be surrounded by the Southwest Coastline. However, with reports from local organisations such as Surfers Against Sewage highlighting that 12 million tonnes of plastic are poured into the ocean every year, it is important we do our bit.
Here are some of our steps to reduce plastic waste:
How Do We Minimise Our Plastic Waste Contribution?
We are committed to limiting the amount of waste we produce by being as efficient as possible with our cutting process – we use state of the art software to ensure that all cut panels are nested correctly and any useable waste is stored for future use. Any unusable material that remains is then filtered through our recycling network, we use a national company to support our recycling needs who work in partnership with Madreperla in Italy. Madreperla collect unused acrylic material which is at the end of its life cycle and regenerate it into raw material. This is formed back into a 100% recyclable acrylic called Greencast. By entering our acrylic into the recycle and reuse loop, we are reducing the amount of waste going into landfill.
