REFUSE
REDUCE
According to the 5 R’s there are four actions
that should be taken before recycling is
considered; refuse, reduce, reuse, and
repurpose. Implementing this methodology
into our business waste reduction plan will
ensure our processes are as e昀케cient as
possible, minimising the total amount of waste
across our business and helping SMI reach its
sustainable goals.
REUSE
REPURPOSE
RECYCLE
Due to the diverse nature of SMI’s ESG
road map including completing our full
scope reporting. We understand the
importance of supporting our customers
to safely dispose of our products once they
reach the end of their life
REFUSE
Making smarter purchasing decisions,
refusing excessive product packaging, and
reusing supplier’s packaging and boxes,
where possible, aligns heavily with our
Environmental, Social, Governance strategy.
We are working with our stakeholders
to minimize what we receive by refusing
unnecessary waste were possible. We have
also reduced the number of non-recyclable
products we purchase from our suppliers,
as our eco product range continues to grow,
o昀昀ering our customers a broader recycling
scheme trom the purchase to recycling.
