Adventa's Greener Environment

Adventa is committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral part of our business strategy and operating methods. With the focus of the environment and climate change in the news we understand it is our corporate responsibility to put measures in place to help reduce our negative impact.

There are 3 key areas we have focused on:

Products and Packaging
- Striving to reduce the volume of waste per completed product. For example, our retail packed bauble has gone from 36 pieces of plastic to none in the space of one year! To do this we are currently researching ways of using alternative types of protective packaging and endeavour to use FSC certified card and paper wherever possible. For example, we have now switched to using FSC recycled void fill paper in boxes. We are also striving to achieve FSC chain of custody for 2020/2021
- Working with suppliers to ensure materials are ethically sourced, and environmentally friendly wherever possible as well as looking for alternative companies, closer to the UK to source some of our materials to help significantly reduce our carbon footprint.
- Investing in research on plastic alternatives and recyclable plastic for future developments. As well as investigating the environmental impact of our products. For example, the QuickPro Canvas, one of our best-selling products, use 90% recycled content:

- Reuse/regrind 100% of all the manufacturing waste made from our injection moulds meaning there is no left over waste!
- Also, to ensure nothing is left in landfills or waste we ensure all discontinued products are donated to charity for re-sell

Building
- Aiming to reduce the kWh of electricity used per square meter within our factory and offices through efficient use of machinery and motion sensitive LED lights
- Reducing the amount of energy, we are using by helping to generate energy! Our new state-of-the-art warehouse roof features solar panels to help counteract our energy usage!

Office Supplies
- As a business we are establishing a new recycling scheme where all paper and all recyclable material in the office will be recycled through the internal paper recycling scheme

- Installed a cardboard baling machine in the factory to ensure all card and paper waste of the business is disposed of correctly

Although some of these elements are still work in progress and are having further investigation, Adventa is determined to find a greener approach where possible while also providing high quality products.
