Environmental Policy
Phillips Plastics recognises that we have an impact
on the environment and that we should act to reduce this impact
by conducting our business in a responsible, considerate and
thoughtful manner.
Therefore we are committed
- to reducing our negative impact on the environment
- to reducing
the waste generated from our production activities
- to recycling
unavoidable waste wherever possible
- to exploring opportunities
to use materials that are recycled, recyclable or biodegradable
- to
continually reduce our carbon emissions
- to encouraging our
employees to be aware of their responsibilities in their
use of energy and impact to the environment
- to meet all
necessary legislative requirements and regulations
Return to Base Program
We are all trying to do our bit for the environment by recycling
as much of our waste as possible but how do you go about recycling
a plastic ring binder?
Traditional PVC binders consist of board, metal and plastic
components that are not easily broken down resulting in many
binders ending up in landfill.
To tackle this issue head-on we are now
offering a ‘Return
to Base’ service for any of the products you have purchased
from us. If you do your bit and return the goods, we will break
them down into their component materials and arrange appropriate
recycling.
- All plastics will be separated and returned to mill for
regranulation.
- All metal fittings will be sent for scrap metal
recycling.
- All cardboard, solid board and papers will be
added to our recycling collection.
We use local recycling collection services and specialist
waste collections where needed, for recycling PVC or Polypropylene
for example.
We are continually seeking new products and solutions that
tackle environmental issues head on and give you additional
options. Like our new removable ring mechanisms, our 88% recycled
'Tuff' material or our reusable 'POD' print On Demand range
of products.
Why not talk to us about how our solutions can fit in with
your CSR requirements.

" Following
recommendation, I contacted Peter and requested to come to
their office to see and talk through the options available.
Whilst I was there, two prototypes were made to match my
concept. In addition, Peter suggested a recycled product
that still had all the attributes of other products with
the additional benefit of fitting in with our Corporate and
Social Responsibility stance.
The response to our folders has been extremely
positive. Our new personal development package is also being
well received and I believe that this is partly due to how
well the products match the user's requirements. I regularly
get asked who produced our folders and I recommend PhillipsPlastics,
a colleague has already had a successful experience using them."
