Sustainability in Removals

Sustainable removals done correctly.

Sustainability in removals is essential to our ethos. We are very proud to announce that we are certified Norfolk Net Zero Waste Champions. 

A history into sustainability.

Norwich Man with A Van (Loads4Less) as a company has been around for almost 13 years now.

During this time, we have saved thousands of tons of house clearance items from going to landfill.

We certainly don’t like to see things go to waste, so we have become very good at finding new uses for the things we collect.

Recently, we achieved our goal of becoming more sustainable. This means that we are doing our part to protect the environment by reducing the amount of waste in landfills.

In short, we are proud of our efforts and will continue working hard to find new ways to reuse and recycle our collected items.

Vehicles and Technology.

As electric vehicles are still unsuitable for our industry, we have recently invested in vehicles that are much more fuel efficient and run with AdBlue, which helps minimise pollutants. So far, we have invested recently in
-Newer vehicles using AdBlue.
-The latest technology allows many jobs to be paperless.
We have also recently invested in the latest software, with a CRM system that has allowed us to be more sustainable by going completely paperless. It also offers our customers a more user-friendly and efficient experience.

Upcycle and reuse.

We will repair/upcycle items where possible to give them a new lease of life and help reduce our carbon footprint.
With the very few items we cannot find a use for, these will be collected by our partners at Green Planet Environmental Ltd, where these items go through several state-of-the-art machines and processes to be further recycled/reused.

Logistics and sustainable thinking.

Sustainability in removals also means tying in jobs where possible to reduce costs for our customers and reduce our carbon emissions. 

We offer what we call a “green grouping service “. The service combines several pickups/drop-offs in a similar area, locally or nationally, using our vehicle GPS tracking systems. This allows us to reduce our customer’s costs and our carbon footprint. 

Packaging.

Our packing materials are made from recycled materials. 

The use of recycled packaging materials helps to conserve natural resources and reduce waste. It also reduces the energy needed to create new packaging materials from raw materials, which in turn helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and preserve the environment for future generations.

Plans in place to stay green.

• Sustainable storage solutions.
• Working on a plan to net zero. 
• We are a certified Norfolk Net Zero Waste Champion. 
• Working in collaboration with Green Planet environmental recycling Ltd. 100% of the disposals/house clearance items are saved from landfill.
• Our removal blankets are made from 100% recycled fabrics.
• Our Staff uniforms are made from recycled materials. 

Green Collection Service.

We also offer a Green Collection Service for all of our local customers.

Green Collection is a service where we can offer our customers a heavily discounted rate for packing materials if collected/returned to us once used.

Wrapping this up, in conclusion.

Sustainability in removals is a full-time job and a vision for the present and future of our company Loads4Less.
