Sustainability overview
“As a business, we are as ambitious about our environmental and social responsibilities as we are about our commercial success. We understand that manufacturing and sustainability can sometimes seem at odds, but we are committed to proving otherwise by driving real change and setting new standards in real, tangible, innovation in sustainability. Since our last environmental report, we’ve made significant progress on our journey to Net Zero. From further investment in renewable energy and cleaner transport to the increased use of greener, more sustainable raw materials, we are embedding sustainability across our way of thinking and every aspect of our operation. These are not just individual milestones. They represent a long-term strategy and a genuine commitment to building a greener, more responsible future.” – Lizzie Elston, Managing Director
At Instarmac, we annually we use over 6,000 tonnes of recycled materials in our products. That’s the equivalent weight of 487 London buses!
In 2022, we installed 1,656 solar panels across a 3,707sqm area at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Tamworth.
Since 1st October 2021, our drivers have collected 84,325 pallets- that’s 758,925 tonnes of wood being recycled, saving around 321,081 trees. This is the equivalent of a 210-acre forest or 120 football pitches!
