Sustainability at Openhouse Products
At Openhouse Products, we are deeply committed to minimising our environmental footprint and fostering sustainable practices throughout our operations. We believe in making conscious choices that not only benefit the environment but also support our local communities. Through innovative waste management, energy-efficient solutions, and responsible sourcing, we strive to make a meaningful impact.
Our Sustainable Practices
Recycled
Waste
We are dedicated to reducing waste by repurposing materials wherever possible. Our shredding waste is sent to a local goat farm, ensuring it serves a new purpose rather than going to landfill.
Supporting Schools
& The Arts
We donate our unused cotton reels to local schools for educational and creative projects. Additionally, our material cardboard roll centres are given to local drama societies, supporting the arts and encouraging sustainable creativity.
Eco-Friendly Packaging
To minimise waste, we prioritise reusing packaging materials. This helps to reduce our environmental impact and ensures that materials are given a second life before recycling.
Energy
Efficiency
We have implemented advanced lighting systems and innovative water heating solutions to significantly lower our energy consumption. These initiatives contribute to a more sustainable working environment while reducing our carbon footprint.
Digital
Transformation
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we are transitioning to a paperless operation. Our online filing cabinet allows us to manage documentation digitally, and we are always exploring new and innovative ways to digitise our processes. This move not only reduces waste but also enhances accessibility and efficiency.
Sustainable
Deliveries
Whenever possible, we opt for carbon-efficient delivery methods to help lower greenhouse gas emissions and ensure that our distribution processes align with our sustainability values.
The Essentials
Range
We have recycled our scrap micrAgard fabrics to bring you the Essentials Range. By repurposing leftover materials, we ensure that valuable resources do not go to waste while offering high-quality, durable products that align with our commitment to sustainability.
Ongoing Innovation
& Improvement
Sustainability is an ongoing journey for us. Our Production Supervisor plays a key role in researching and implementing new technologies to improve our manufacturing processes in Birkenhead. We regularly assess our operations to stay at the forefront of industry advancements, ensuring we continuously enhance our sustainability efforts.
Farming
Industry
We are dedicated to supporting the UK farming industry, ensuring we make a positive contribution to our agricultural community for a sustainable future.
Through these initiatives, we aim to contribute positively to both the environment and the communities we serve. Sustainability is not just a commitment at Openhouse Products—it’s a core part of who we are.
