Refuse
We are committed to using only sustainable packaging. For this reason, we refuse unnecessary packing from our suppliers, and instead use packaging that reinforces our sustainability policy. We strive to remove all unnecessary and non-recyclable materials from our manufacturing and packaging processes.
Reduce
At Helping Hand, we build to last. All of our products are 100% reusable, and we will never produce single-use items. We have reduced the need for polybagged and single carton boxes of our products; preferring to bulk pack in compostable FSC cardboard across our range.
Reuse
We design recyclable accessories to support litter collection. Our Recycle Kits extend the product life cycle of our Ranger MAX by 300%. Furthermore, we’re embracing renewable energy with the installation of solar panels at our Ledbury site, saving enough energy to power 20 homes.
Recycle
We continuously drive sustainable innovation in our product design. A minimum of 10% recycled materials is used in all of our litter pickers, and up to 58% in our commercial litter segregation cart. All of our products are up to 82% recyclable. Additionally, using our litter picking carts helps customers to segregate recyclable and general waste, diverting 624 tonnes per year from landfill.
Rethink
Our Eco Education booklet provides educational materials for children. The booklet brings awareness to key environmental issues in schools across the world. Rethinking our manufacturing, consumption, automation and rise of new technologies throughout the company.
