The world wide trade in importing and exporting goods is huge, and as consumers we take it for granted that all the products that we desire are readily available for us to purchase year round. Sometimes there is little thought as to how these products where able to reach our stores and supermarkets, and who and what is affected as a result.
At Source Logistix we care deeply about the impact our business practices, and international shipping on the whole, has on the environment. As part of our dedication to sustainability, we have implemented several measures to minimize our ecological footprint by working with not only greener shipping companies, but also suppliers too.
Read more about Our Impact and how we are going about making greener choices.
Recycling and Electronic Systems
One of the key initiatives we have undertaken is recycling all unwanted packaging materials in our warehouse, created by consolidating customers orders and stocking our store. In addition, we have introduced various electronic systems to limit the amount of printing we do when liasing with our suppliers, customers and shipping agents. These steps help reduce waste and promote a more eco-friendly operation.
Featuring Eco-Friendly Brands
Although we stock some of the most popular brands in the UK to suit our growing customers needs. We are most proud that we get the opportunity to work with companies and brands that offer natural, organic, cruelty-free, eco-friendly, fair trade and sustainable products.
We love talking about, featuring and stocking products in our online store that are good for us, the animals and the environment. Especially when the manufacturers also go out of their way to give back to the communities that supply their raw materials and are manufacturing processess. Another factor that is important to us is working with companies that use eco-friendly packaging and those that eliminate unnecessary packaging. Ensuring that some of our product ranges align with our sustainability goals.
Often these makers are small business owners that have poured their life’s passion into their products, and you can feel the good vibes flowing when you use the products! If you want to join the movement for a better world and are interesting in buying products for business or personal use, that fall into these categories get in touch to see how we can assist you.
Biodegradable and Reusable Shipping Materials
Our consolidating and packing practices are designed with the environment in mind.
We use biodegradable cardboard boxes, pallets and plastic shipping barrels that can be recycled or reused after the contents have been removed.
These barrels are very versatile, and depending on what you have shipped down in them, they can be repurposed for storing potable water, food, personal belongings, animal feed, business stock, and more.
Eco-Friendly Shipping Partners
We collaborate with sea freight shipping partners that are pioneers in the use of biofuels and the acquisition of LNG-powered vessels, offering customers access to low-carbon transport solutions. This enables customers that prioritize low impact shipping to further reduce the carbon footprint of their shipping using low-carbon fuels, such as 2nd generation biofuels and biomethane; which offset your residual emissions.
Our partnerships with air freight shipping companies that are leading the way implementing changes to the way their power their offices and transport solutions, and by offering customers the opportunity to use reusable packaging and to opt in for carbon neutral shipping if they wish.
These partnerships help us reduce our carbon footprint and promote sustainable shipping practices. By integrating these measures, we are committed to promoting sustainability in every aspect of our business. We believe that small changes can lead to significant positive impacts on the environment, and we are dedicated to doing our part for a greener future.
