Here at Pellacraft HQ, we’re working towards reducing our carbon footprint, and here are some steps we’ve put in place to reduce plastic in our business, supply chain and products.
Conduct a plastic audit:
Assess the current plastic usage in your business. Identify the areas where plastic is most commonly used and find alternatives or solutions to reduce or eliminate them.
Set clear goals:
Define your objectives for becoming plastic-fee. Determine your goals and set measurable targets to track your progress.
Educate your team:
Learn about sustainable alternatives to plastic and learn as a team about the environmental impact of plastic pollution. Adopt a trend of awareness and responsibility amongst the team.
Redesign packaging and products:
Speak to suppliers about their use of product packaging and explore eco-friendly alternatives. Here at Pellacraft, several suppliers have swapped to using compostable, biodegradable or recyclable materials instead of traditional plastics. Ask us about our green points range.
Creating a plastic-free business requires careful planning and commitment to sustainable practices.
Provide your employees and customers with reusable drinkware, including water bottles and coffee cups, or get your brand noticed whilst reducing your carbon footprint with renewable shopping bags. Consider offering incentives or discounts to encourage reusable solutions.

Engage with your customers:
Communicate with your customers about your commitment to being plastic-free to your customers and share your journey. Encourage them to join you in reducing plastic waste. We help our customers recycle old clothing by hosting a regular collection point to donate old clothing to Sharewear.
Continuously improve:
Being plastic-free is an ongoing process. Stay informed about advancements in sustainable practices, technologies and materials. We keep looking for new ways to minimise your environmental impact and inspire others to do the same.
Transitioning to plastic-free may take time, but it’s a worthwhile journey contributing to a more sustainable future for all.
