Environmental Policy
At Garden Magic we love the outdoors, and we want the future generations to come to love it as much as we do. We therefore trade as environmentally sustainably as possible. To achieve this, we do a number of things:-
1.
Reduce – avoidance is the best policy. We try to minimise packaging by putting the
whole delivery in one parcel, using environmentally friendly materials and
using couriers with a reputation for carbon reduction where we can. We try not to make unnecessary journeys, and
insulate our buildings well to reduce energy consumption. We’re also committed to reducing the energy
usage of our products and are in the process of phasing out halogen bulbs for
LED – which also have the benefit of lasting longer!
2.
Re-use – where we can, we’ll re-use packaging to
save using unnecessary materials. This
may mean that the box you receive an order in has a few marks or excess bits of
tape – but we would only use the box if it meant the product still arrived with
you in perfect condition. We may also
have less than perfect products – we’ll explicitly mark these in our sale
section on our website so you know what you’re getting, but in our opinion we’d
rather a perfectly good light found a good home, even if the packaging is
damaged or there’s a slight imperfection.
3.
Recycle – anything we can’t re-use gets recycled
at an appropriate recycling centre – this includes boxes, paper, plastic and
anything else. We aim to send as little as humanly possible to
landfill.
We are registered under the WEEE (Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment) scheme, which aims to avoid unwanted electrical equipment
waste. Many old electrical devices can
be repaired or recycled, and disposing of them inappropriately can also cause
damage to the environment. We are
pleased to be able to offer a recycling service on your used equipment on a
like for like basis – if you wish to use this service all you need to do is
post or bring your old device to us when you purchase a new device. We are based at 36 Ferndale Street,
Faringdon, Oxfordshire, SN7 7AH. We will
then ensure that your old device is recycled or disposed of appropriately.
All recyclable equipment is marked with a crossed out wheelie bin symbol (see below).
