i2r has a real commitment to environment issues such as waste and weight reduction, recycling and minimising carbon emissions.

There are a number of initiatives already underway that are having a real positive impact.

We have re-designed our trays so that they can be produced using less aluminium but retain all of the required strength. In some cases as much as 25% less than other industry equivalents.

Our tooling is unique in the industry and is made using the latest technology so that our process waste levels are kept to an absolute minimum.

We have selected local distribution company Simmonds Transport for our nationwide deliveries. The entire Simmonds fleet uses B100 Biofuel which has been made from UCO (used cooking oils). Click 2 discover more at 1st4biofuel.co.uk.

We segregate all waste streams for re-use or recycling wherever possible.

All office stationery and outer packaging is made from 100% post consumer waste.

Aluminium process waste is collected and returned to our suppliers. As much as 30% of this waste is then re used in the raw material that we purchase.

Our trays are all embossed with a recycling logo to increase consumer awareness of the fact that all of our trays can be recycled, subject to local authority accessibility.

We actively encourage and support all staff who organise car sharing initiatives or who travel to work by bicycle or on foot.

We challenge our suppliers to reduce their waste and where possible to switch from throw away packaging to returnables.

We switch off lights and fans that are not in constant use.

We see this as being the start of a long journey. We hope that you do 2.
