Sustainability and Recycled Materials

It is essential that as manufacturers and as a family business, we understand how what we do today will impact the world our children live in tomorrow.

We are committed to protecting the environment, the health and safety of our employees, and the community in which we conduct our business. It is our policy to seek continual improvement throughout our business operations to lessen our impact on the local and global environment. We are committed to environmental control and pollution prevention, meeting or exceeding applicable environmental regulatory requirements. We strive, where feasible, to purchase environmentally preferable materials and services to meet the company’s operational needs. We will also favour suppliers who strive to improve their environmental performance, provide environmentally preferable products, and who can document the supply chain impacts of their efforts.

Our purchasing decisions will favour products that:

  • Maximize post-consumer recycled content
  • Minimize packaging and other waste
  • Minimize the use of toxic materials hazardous to the environment, employees and public health
  • Are durable and reusable
  • Are more locally available to minimize transportation
  • Are made from sustainably produced materials
  • Are compostable or biodegradable
  • Conserves energy, water and other natural resources

Copper and Aluminium are our most used materials here at Beehive. Both metals can be infinitely recycled without losing the superior properties of the virgin metals. Our main suppliers of these materials and other metals are using increasingly recycled metals in their factories, with one supplier due to be using 100% recycled copper by 2026 and another supplier already using 100% recycled copper right now. Giving a 99.95%+ purity of the highest grade at a third of the carbon footprint. This 100% recycled copper can be specifically requested for your project at the time of placing an order with us.

We are always continuing trials of new materials and are finding some that provide the same quality copper/fin stock that will work the same way in our machines and for our customers in the final products.

All our products can be recycled once they have served their purpose (and if looked after, they will do for many years!) this ‘circular recycling’ helps to keep these metals in use again and again. All our metal waste is of course, recycled. Our packaging is also highly recyclable by using wood pallets/boarding, metal corner protectors, shrink wrap and we will be introducing white plastic protection boards in the near future instead of the current black boards as this is not recyclable yet due to the machinery used at the waste sites.

Environmentally preferable products and services that are comparable in quality to their standard counterparts will receive a purchasing preference. Environmentally Preferable Purchasing is part of our long-term commitment to the environment.
