Sustainability

The goal of being a sustainable company is a high priority here at Evergreen Direct. We have taken many steps in trying to reach this goal and have many projects underway. We take our environmental footprint very seriously and continuously strive to improve.

Our company has gone to significant lengths to test our products, to ensure they are safe and contain no hazardous substances such as lead, heavy metals, or harmful chemicals that ensure the safety of wildlife, pets, people and the environment.

We plant a tree for every order placed

Due to the nature of our product, the carbon footprint it has is very front-loaded, we strive to balance this with our partnership with Ecologi which plants a tree for every order that is placed. We have also helped fund climate projects worldwide. This includes sponsorship of projects to protect the Peruvian Amazon, and develop renewable energy plants in Egypt and Vietnam.

Made to last

Made from recyclable plastic using the latest UV protective technology our products are made to last. Unlike many products, our planting has zero maintenance and is recyclable, ensuring the carbon footprint is not extended through the product’s life cycle. We always aim to supply the highest quality products, with as little environmental impact as possible.

Packing And Recycling

There is always room for improvement when it comes to recycling. We actively recycle cardboard, plastic, and wood. Where possible we will reuse any cardboard we have and that what can’t be reused is collected by a company that we have ensured agree with our ethos https://www.recyclenow.com/about-us/who-we-are

We took the decision to reduce the amount of packaging used, we removed any unnecessary filling packaging used, especially any single use plastic.

Solar Panels And Energy

In August 2020 we had solar panels installed on the south facing parts of our roof in a bid to reduce our carbon footprint. At present we are currently supplying this back to the grid but as we are always looking at methods to improve, we are investigating the possibility to store this energy and fully supply ourselves.

Additionally, we actively recruit suppliers that have a strong sustainability approach to their business.

Wood Policy

Wood Policy

We endeavour to only use suppliers for our wood that stock either wood sourced from sustainable forests or Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) accredited products. FSC is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation promoting responsible management of the world’s forests.
