RECYCLED PACKAGING
We understand the importance of “reduce-reuse-recycle.”
However, not all waste materials are alike, and a onesize-昀椀ts-all solution doesn’t exist.
We’ve adapted our practices to minimise
environmental impact without adding signi昀椀cant costs.
HOW WE MANAGE WASTE
Over the past 昀椀ve years, we’ve implemented
e昀케cient waste disposal methods, including:
FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
Continued improvements of our
e昀케cient waste disposal methods will
include:
1
Cardboard
• Approximately 5000kg of cardboard waste per month.
• Local recycling, less than 20 miles away, reduces
transportation fuel usage.
2
Polythene
• On-site baling for batch recycling back into polythene
products.
• Collection and chipping for various applications, from
children’s playground floors to chipboard for the
building industry.
We’re working to increase
recycled board usage in our
cartons.
PLASTICS
We’re reducing single-use
plastics and transitioning to
biodegradable materials for
some polythene bags.
PLANT-BASED POLYTHENE

Pallets
CARDBOARD
We are researching plantbased materials suitable for
packaging and compostable
options
ABERDEEN ELECTRIC VAN
We are excited to have a new, fully electric van stationed at our
Aberdeen location that will provide same-day delivery to our
clients in the Dyce and Aberdeen region.
As we continue to aim to reach our Net Zero Sustainability Goals,
switching all of our vehicles to electric or hybrid, ensures we are
establishing a more environmentally friendly fleet and exhibiting
our dedication to Corporate Social Responsibility.
Keep an eye out for updates on Hazchem’s progress towards
achieving its Net Zero Sustainability Goals.
