Our long-term commitment is to continue to raise awareness and promote sustainability among our team members, suppliers, customers, and communities. In 2018 Spinlock was the first Marine Manufacturer and first Isle of Wight Company to sign up to the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, in collaboration with UN Environment. Our 2019/2020 New Plastics Economy Global Commitment report is published here Recent examples of our commitment include a packaging review to ensure we choose packaging that can reduce our environmental impact. After reviewing many packaging materials, all of which have an environmental impact, our product header cards are made from Polypropylene. Whilst a plastic, Polypropylene can be collected with your roadside recycling, which means the header will be recycled and reused easily, without confusion. We have stopped using plastic bags for as much of our packaging as possible. For large trade sales to single users we offer the products ‘free of packaging’ which massively reduces the use of packaging materials. At our Head Office and Production facility, totalling 60 staff, new recycling points have been added for simple recycling of personal waste and consumables. Here are some ways in which you can make a difference with your environmental impact by disposing of your Spinlock products safely: Electrical Waste Check your electrical goods for the crossed-out wheelie bin symbol to see if your item can be disposed of within-household waste. All electrical goods with the symbol from the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive can be disposed of at a WEEE collection point for recycling.
