Stocks and consumables that come into our warehousing arrive in various protective packaging of all shapes, sizes, and types. We now recycle 100% of our inbound cardboard and paper waste using the following methods.
Where possible we reused protective packaging that stocks arrive to us in. This involves remapping boxes to best fit our outgoing orders with any scraps recycled through our other means detailed here.
The majority of our inbound cardboard waste is given a second life through in-house processes. Including repurposing cardboard scraps and paper as a superior filling material to protect all the orders we ship.
Any remaining cardboard waste that we cannot reuse ourselves we recycle through independent recycling banks.
Currently we limit the amount of paper we produced for in-house purposes however we aim to be completely paper free by 2023. Currently all internal paper waste is recycled as reusable packing material.
By working with and supporting opensource plastic recycling initiatives we are working on the development of several processes that will enable us to be a net contributor to plastic recycling by 2025. Our goal is to be able to recycle more plastic than we currently produce and put out into the market.
We are moving towards a situation whereby many of our 3D Printed products will be manufactured using recycled plastics that we process in-house – using opensource engineering solutions and leveraging the 3D Printing community at large.
Our plans also involve developing a buy back service that enables both our customers, collectors, and casual buyers to sell back to us their unwanted toy, DVD & Blu-ray products for repurposing as recycled plastics or for resale or refurbishment to give them a new lease of life and enjoyment!
