Environmental policy

We’re working hard to minimize our impact on the environment – and that means putting serious effort into the things that are out of sight too. 

Made to last

Our products are designed to a quality standard, not to a price.

This means we use processes and materials that are significantly better than industry standards to create products that’ll endure.

Our lights are a good example.

Rather than making lights with built-in LED chips (a common approach in the industry), we engineer ours so they look great and use standard bulbs.

This means when your LED eventually reaches the end of its lifespan, instead of replacing the entire light fixture, you just need to change the bulb.

Circular economy

Almost all our products are made from solid brass, a durable metal that will last a lifetime. It’s also an infinitely recyclable material. 

Any solid brass left over after our production is recycled, not wasted. Our hooks, for example, are made from melted down solid brass off cuts. 

Plastic-free packaging

From the very beginning, we’ve never used plastic in our packaging – it’s one of our core values. But sending delicate items using only cardboard is a challenge.

We’ve created our own cardboard structures to protect our products in the best and most responsible way.

They’re designed and cut with advanced CNC box cutting machines (a tool usually used to make precise bespoke boxes). Again, it’s not something you’ll come across very often in the industry.

Our products are wrapped in tissue paper to protect them from scratches, and the boxes are sealed with water-activated paper tape.

How you can handle our packaging

Our packaging can be recycled where infrastructure and access to paper and cardboard recycling exist.

Recycling rules vary between states and counties. We encourage you to check with your local authority to find out how to correctly dispose of our recyclable packaging.

Material identification codes

Our packaging features recycling codes (triangular symbols with chasing arrows).

The codes show that our boxes are made of cardboard (PAP 21) and, to increase the structural integrity of the boxes for transport in some cases, corrugated cardboard (PAP 20). PAP 22 means there will be paper-based packaging inside the box.

PAP 20, 21, and 22 materials are widely recyclable.

Electrical products and batteries 

Electrical items and batteries should be disposed of separately from other types of waste. 

We encourage you to check with your local authority to find out how to correctly sort and dispose of these items. 

Our purpose built HQ

We designed and built our head office in the UK ourselves to a high eco specification.

It’s insulated way beyond benchmark standards. It’s heated and cooled with solar assisted heat pumps, and the solar panels on our roof generate up to 110kW of electricity.

All in all, it’s a really low-energy space to run.
