OUR IMPACT ON THE OCEANS
97% of the earth’s water is in our oceans, and our oceans are in significant danger - seagrass is declining, coral is dying, and harmful algae is booming as a result of pollution and climate change. The World Wildlife Fund report a 50% decline in the number of fish since 1970 due to over-exploitation and habitat loss.
Protecting our future and the environment we all play and work in is a priority for us. We wish to help create clean, abundant and sustainable oceans so that future generations can experience the joy of sailing.
More resourceful using fewer resources
A company-wide initiative is under way to deliver all our packaged products in a sustainable way. We are developing compact, safe packaging solutions using sustainable materials for all our products.
All finished goods will be in 100% sustainable packaging by 2021, and our aim is to completely eliminate single use plastic.
A COMPLETE SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING SOLUTION
We choose materials and processes that are energy-efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable where possible. Our Packaging designs not only protect products; but are also adapted for maximum storage, shipping and cost efficiencies.
Molded Pulp
To protect our Marine Electronics we use molded pulp. Made from wood fibers or recycled waste paper, Molded Pulp is 100% recyclable and biodegradable.
Hydropol® Bag
The Hydropol® bag ensures our product reaches its final destination as pristine as when it leaves the factory. These bags are biodegradable, simply add boiling water and it will dissolve.
Cardboard and Paper
This means that the forests used are responsibly managed, socially beneficial and environmentally conscious.
Eco-friendly
We have replaced single-use plastic bags with paper bags orbiodegradable bags.
Kraft Paper and Tissue Interleaf
We have swapped bubble wrap with sustainable Kraft paper and tissue interleaf for the purpose of shipping our cartons around the world. In addition, our local warehouses are moving to recyclable tape to secure our packing boxes.
