The Touchstone Systems Environmental Guarantee
- Currently we work with Basingstoke & Dean Borough Council to ensure that all products and packaging that can be sent to recycling through the national kerbside collection scheme is prepared and separated properly for collection
- Products not suitable for kerbside collection such as glass and electronic goods that no longer work are transported to recycling centres around Hampshire.
- Electronic and large bulky goods that are still functioning but are being upgraded are offered on the National internet Freecycle Scheme.
- We are a paperless office where possible, but where not all paper is either shredded and separated for composting, or set aside for pulping and recycling.
- All compostable materials from the kitchen including coffee grounds, teabags, fruit and vegetable peelings etc are stored for composting
- Tetra packaging which cant be recycled locally is washed out and flattened and posted back to Tetra (details available on their website).
- Touchstone are slowly but surely exchanging cleaning chemicals to Eco-friendly versions which have less impact on the environment
- Touchstone purchase almost all products used in bulk which cuts down on transportation, packaging and keeps lorries off the roads.
- Client and meeting times permitting we are dedicated to using the best method of transportation possible including using trains and car sharing a minimum of three days per week.
- Last but not least, all lighting is provided by long life energy saving eco-friendly lightbulbs that are on timers
We encourage our clients, suppliers and friends to try to make any small but significant changes they can in their business and personal lives.
