As a removal company, we at Crisscross Removals and Storage recognise the importance of taking care of our planet. With the effects of climate change becoming increasingly evident, it’s more important than ever for businesses to invest in sustainable practices. In this guide, we’ll explore how we can invest in our planet from a removal company perspective.
Use eco-friendly packing materials
One of the biggest ways we can reduce our impact on the environment is by using eco-friendly packing materials. This means avoiding single-use plastics and opting for materials that are biodegradable or can be recycled.
At Crisscross Removals and Storage, we use high-quality cardboard boxes and packing materials made from recycled materials wherever possible. This not only reduces waste but also helps to reduce our carbon footprint.
Optimise our fleet
As a removal company, we rely on our fleet of vehicles to transport goods from one location to another. To minimise our impact on the environment, we strive to optimise our fleet by using fuel-efficient vehicles and investing in electric vehicles where possible. This not only helps to reduce emissions but also helps to save on fuel costs.
Recycle and dispose of waste responsibly
We take our responsibility to recycle and dispose of waste responsibly very seriously. We aim to recycle as much waste as possible, including packaging materials, cardboard boxes, and other materials used during the removal process. We also ensure that any hazardous waste is disposed of safely and in accordance with local regulations.
Partner with sustainable suppliers
To further reduce our impact on the environment, we aim to partner with suppliers who prioritise sustainability. This includes sourcing eco-friendly packing materials and using suppliers who have environmentally conscious practices in place.
Encourage customers to adopt sustainable practices
As a removal company, we have a unique opportunity to educate and encourage our customers to adopt sustainable practices. We can do this by providing resources and information on how to reduce waste, recycle properly, and opt for more sustainable packing materials. By doing so, we can work together to reduce our collective impact on the environment.
