EFFICIENT MANUFACTURING
Our plants in the UK, Italy, and South Africa follow strict environmental standards. The electricity powering our UK manufacturing processes comes entirely from renewable sources. We’re always working to cut waste, energy use, and emissions.
ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS
We use 91% bio-based resins in our thermoplastic products, with an ambition to achieve 100% within the next 2 years. Our thermoplastic products are also manufactured with up to 45% recycled materials. This helps us lower our environmental impact.
REPURPOSING WASTE
We actively repurpose waste from our manufacturing process and use by-products in our product formulations. This reduces waste and maximises resource efficiency.
LONG-LASTING PRODUCTS
Our road markings are built to last, reducing the need for frequent replacements and saving resources. Durable products mean less waste and better performance over time.
END-OF-LIFE-MANAGEMENT
