Environmentally Responsible

What does it mean to be Environmentally Responsible?

It means consistently considering the environmental impact of your choices, whether you're a business, a customer, or an individual. This involves carefully managing how you use shared resources and minimizing your footprint on our planet.

At Unbreakable Drinkware, we demonstrate this commitment in various ways, which we detail below.

Product choice

Our commitment to being environmentally responsible is evident in our product selection. We exclusively offer products that benefit our customers without harming the environment. While cheaper plastic glassware is readily available, even in major supermarkets, it often cannot be recycled and can persist in landfills indefinitely. This is a significant environmental concern we actively avoid.

In contrast, all the unbreakable drinkware we sell is fully recyclable, offering a sustainable alternative. Furthermore, the manufacturing carbon footprint of our products is approximately one-tenth that of traditional glass. Polycarbonate and Tritan plastics, which we utilize, require half the energy to produce compared to glass and generate seven times less carbon dioxide during their creation. This significantly reduces the environmental impact of our products.

For every brand of unbreakable drinkware we carry, we provide clear instructions on how to recycle responsibly or how to clean and revive your drinkware for the longest possible lifespan, maximizing its utility and minimizing waste.

Packaging

We make every effort to collect and re-use cardboard boxes for shipping orders. We don't see any point in printing on new boxes for the sake of branding at your front door.

If internal packaging is required, we will use our biodegradable bubble wrap or re-use packaging from products we have received. 

Business processes

We continuously review and refine our internal operations in the back office and warehouse to enhance our environmental responsibility. This includes:

• Waste management - we diligently recycle all cardboard packaging, diverting it from landfills.
• Transport - we minimize our petrol consumption by strategically using couriers for order deliveries, optimizing routes and reducing individual vehicle trips.
• Power - we leverage natural daylight during business hours and utilize energy-efficient LED lights at night, significantly reducing our electricity usage.
