Environmental Policy
Pd-m recognises the impact that designers and their products have on the environment. The design of a product can affect the environment at all stages of its life from materials used, the manufacturing process, its use and especially its disposal.
This is why Pd-m is committed to improving its impact on the environment both as a company and in the products we help produce.
Pd-m ensures that as a company we:
Comply with relevant Environmental Legislation as a minimum code of practice.
Conduct business with companies local to the Yorkshire region in order to reduce the carbon footprint of any transportation needs. Where this is not possible, we transport materials at a full capacity by sea rather than air to reduce co2 emissions per unit.
Work with companies of a similar environmental policy.
Have a minimal impact on the environment within the company premises.
Pd-m ensures that as designers we:
Where possible, reduce the environmental impact of materials that go into the products we design by using biodegradable or recyclable materials.
Reduce the amount of unnecessary or damaging packaging for our products. Where large packaging is a necessity we explore recyclable packaging options.
Pd-m aims to:
Reduce the carbon footprint where possible with products manufactured in the Far East.
Increase the amount of products that are designed for disposal as well as use.
Encourage clients to consider the environmental effects of their product and to advise them of sustainable practices.
Continuously seek to improve environmental performance from all members of staff by research into new developments in materials technology, design processes, manufacturing processes and procedures.
Monitor our environmental progress by reviewing performance every 6 months or as significant improvements are made.
