Our Commitment To The Environment

Caring for the environment

We are in the caring profession and while for the most part that means caring about delivering products that improve the quality of life for our customers, it also means we care about the environment too.

We’ve appointed an internal team of environmental champions who keep an eye on us to make sure our day to day lives in the workplace are as environmentally friendly as possible.

We believe every business, no matter the size, has a role to play in the race to net zero and have  made the SME Climate Hub Commitment, taking us one step closer to our net zero goal.

To help us focus on our commitment we have set clear targets for the business including;

• Reducing our emissions by improving facility infrastructure and choosing green alternatives
• Improving route planning and moving our fleet to hybrid and electric vehicles
• Reducing waste both in the manufacturing facility and consumables
• Raising awareness of the issues within our own workforce, while supporting the communities we work in
• Eliminating plastic packaging from our own products and that used within our supply chain
• We make sure electrical parts are passed to B2B Compliance for recycling in accordance with WEEE Regulations

Mangar Health Products

Product wise, we are doing our very best to make sure our products are suitable for recycling.

Take our Archimedes bath lift for example:

• The plastic components can be ground down and remoulded to make new plastic products
• The batteries are reprocessed by a certified company and the metals recovered
• The rubber of the suction cups and transit ties can be ground and reused in low-grade rubber items such as shoe soles and car mats
• The aluminium can be melted down and reused in all sorts of different aluminium based items – drinks cans, cars, even planes!

We are also making changes to our design processes to ensure that all plastics are marked with identification symbols as endorsed by the British Plastics Federation to help identify them when recycling.

If you would like more information on our green credentials or have any questions on how to recycle our products please do contact us.
