| Achieving Level 1 on NHS Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment The Assessment is a self-assessment and reporting tool and resulted in us receiving a [Level 1: Publicly committed to net zero carbon and engaged with sustainability]. The information reported through Evergreen is supporting us to understand our alignment with NHS sustainability priorities and identify those areas in which we need to accelerate progress. |

Partnering Locally, Working Sustainably
|
Recycling responsibly We collaborate with local waste collection companies to recycle steel off-cuts, cardboard, paper, and plastics. |

Creating a Circular Economy: Recycled Worktops
We can now offer environmentally friendly worktops manufactured with 100% recycled plastic.
This marks a significant stride in our commitment to eco-friendly practices, as we continually strive to contribute to a greener world.
How does it work?
Our supplier recycles discarded plastics from waste that would otherwise end up in a landfill, they then use this waste to create high-quality and ecofriendly worktops.
By diverting waste from landfills and transforming it into something we can use, we are closing the loop on plastic waste.
Our worktops are not just sustainable; they’re part of a larger movement to change how we use, reuse, and repurpose to minimise waste and environmental negative impact.
