At West Special Fasteners, we know that even small changes can have a big impact, especially when it comes to looking after our planet. That’s why this Plastic Free July, we’re proud to share the steps we’ve taken to reduce our environmental impact and encourage our customers to do the same.
What is Plastic Free July?
Plastic Free July is a global movement that began in 2011 and now inspires millions of participants to reduce single-use plastics. It’s not just about avoiding plastic bags or straws but about rethinking our habits, making more sustainable choices, and encouraging businesses and communities to do the same.
Its not about doing it perfectly, it’s about doing it better. And every little step helps.
Our Commitment to Sustainable Packaging
We’ve taken a close look at how we package and ship our products, and we’re proud to say:
- All of our cardboard packaging is fully recyclable, helping to reduce waste and support a circular economy.
- We use locally sourced wooden boxes wherever possible, minimising transport emissions and supporting local businesses.
- Any plastic boxes we use are designed to be repurposed, whether that’s for storage, organisation, or creative reuse in your workshop or home.
We know that packaging isn’t everything, but it’s something we can control, and we’re committed to doing it responsibly.
What Changes Will You Be Making This Plastic Free July?
We’d love to hear how you’re getting involved. Are you cutting out single-use plastics? Trying out new reusable products? Supporting eco-conscious businesses? Whatever it is, share your journey with us on social media and tag #WestSpecialFasteners. Let’s keep the conversation going and inspire each other to make a difference, one step at a time.
