However, we are always thinking about how we can work with even less plastic in a safe and quality way.<\/p>\n<p>As plastic is an ever-present part of our daily lives, it is our duty to find ways to reduce our use of plastic and to provide our customers with solutions to help them reduce their use of plastic. This is why we are actively improving our processes and practices to reduce, reuse, recycle and upcycle our waste.<\/p>\n<p>Solutions can range from finding sustainable alternatives, which means replacing single-use plastics with renewable alternatives, to asking suppliers to help by requesting plastic-free packaging and prioritising bulk deliveries.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, we disposed of 197 tonnes of plastic and set a target to reduce our total waste by 5% per tonne produced each year. Our actions have resulted in an average annual reduction of almost 20% since the target was set in 2020.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-116052 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christeyns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Waste-300x182.png\" alt=\"waste and plastic disposal\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christeyns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Waste-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/www.christeyns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Waste-540x327.png 540w, https:\/\/www.christeyns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Waste.png 743w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The philosophy we have when it comes to waste is very simple &#8211; we apply the following hierarchy of waste management:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-116037 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christeyns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Waste_Hierarchy_graph-300x195.png\" alt=\"Waste and plastic hierarchy\" width=\"516\" height=\"335\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Changes have been made in procurement to buy goods in bulk rather\u00a0than in bags where possible, and to buy in IBCs that can be cleaned and re-used over and over again rather than in drums where possible.
