We invested in 450 solar panels to fulfil a significant part of our energy needs. These panels convert sunlight into clean power, thereby reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and drastically lowering our CO2 emissions.
By continuously investing in technological advancements, we can become more efficient and more eco-friendly. Most of our machines have been replaced with energy-efficient models that use LED drying technology to reduce CO2 output by up to 30%. The warmth emitted by these machines is recaptured and used to heat our production facility!
We exclusively use paper that is free from plastic and chemicals, made from sustainable materials, and in some cases 100% compostable and biodegradable.
We consistently use paper sealing tape, cardboard cores, and cardboard dividers and flowpacks instead of shrink wrap to minimise our reliance on plastic packaging.
Our sustainability policy extends to our waste management. Implementing a comprehensive waste separation system has allowed us to more effectively process and reuse recyclable materials. This not only ensures regulatory compliance, it also safeguards the future of our planet for generations to come by repurposing waste.
At BMLE, sustainability is deeply embedded in our ethos. Itβs part of who we are, how we work, and what we stand for. We are always looking for new ways to make a meaningful contribution and minimise our impact on the environment β for our customers and our planet.
