Thinking Green and Making a Difference
CD Team have always strived to have a positive impact on the environment.
WEEE Registered
CD Team Ltd is registered with the Environment Agency for WEEE
(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and we recycle all electrical waste. We are registered in a compliance scheme, provide recycling for all equipment sold and complete quarterly figures for all systems so this can be accurately measured.
Disc Recycling
For the safe disposal of CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray containing content no longer required, discs are destroyed using a shredder to guarantee security for our customers and ourselves. The shredded waste is then sent to Polymer Recycling and Grundon where the polycarbonate material is extracted, cleaned and re-used.
Packaging
We use re-used packaging, which benefits the environment and our own costs. The majority of goods delivered to us in outer boxes or packaging are sent on in their original form. Where goods are unpacked and used for our value added services (such as disc being printed, duplicated and fulfilled) we re-use boxes of the smallest size possible whilst ensuring adequate protection for the products enclosed. All discs are supplied by manufacturers who conform to the packaging waste directive.
Deliveries
Using couriers rather than our own vehicles for all deliveries also minimises our carbon footprint. Our couriers have Environment Policies and are committed to limiting their own carbon footprint.
Website
In an effort to be environmentally friendly in all aspects of our business, our website is also carbon neutralised. We are registered with COCO2 which carbon offsets any CO2 emissions produced by our website.
Office Waste Recycling
We work with our waste disposal supplier Grundon to recycle general waste wherever possible. Our commitment to recycling is confirmed by our signing a duty of care certificate with them. This promises all mixed paper, mixed plastics, cardboard and cans are separated by us and collected by them once a week.
Printer Consumables
All Ink cartridges are all recycled through the Woodland Trust Charity. For more information visit www.woodland-trust.org.uk/inkjet. Our printer toners are also recycled.
Travel
Decisions on travel are always carefully considered and where possible webinars and teleconference calls are used with overseas suppliers. We encourage lift sharing, cycling and walking into work wherever possible.
