At Solent Scale Services we understand the importance of making changes to try and protect the planet. We may not be a large manufacturing company but we still believe that small changes can make a big impact, when everyone gets involved. Here are just a few things we are doing as a business to try and be more environmentally friendly:
Company Vehicles
Our company vehicles are leased and renewed every few years, therefore they have lower emissions than an old fleet of vehicles.
If more than one engineer is needed on a job we encourage them to "van share", saving on fuel & CO2 emissions.
Some staff members also work from home, saving more fuel & CO2 emissions.
Paper
Approximately 98% of our Calibration Certificates are now sent in PDF format (unless customer requests otherwise) therefore saving paper, envelopes & postal CO2 emissions.
The paper we do use is "Eco-Efficient".
Any paper no longer needed is shredded and used as padding in some of our packaging.
Electronics
Where possible we recycle old electronics
To minimise consumption of large servers we make full use of "The Cloud"
Packaging
We re-use any boxes sent from our suppliers.
We re-use any pallets sent from suppliers
Our courier pack bags are made from 80% reclaimed material and 100% recyclable
