Brightwell has undertaken additional sustainability initiatives . “ Over the course of a year , we have established a dedicated position within the organization to focus on our environmental agenda . We are actively collaborating with several key customers and suppliers to determine the carbon footprint of the products we manufacture . This is a matter of significant interest to customers as they deliver their Environmental , Social , and Governance ( ESG ) agendas . It is equally important for us since it establishes a baseline and enables us to continue to look at how we reduce our environmental impact . Furthermore , it is crucial for us to go beyond plastic and ensure that we recycle as much
waste and by-products from our business as possible . Any materials that cannot be recycled are directed to a waste-to-energy facility , ensuring that we achieve zero waste to landfill . Therefore , we are currently focusing on every intricate aspect of our processes , such as the materials ’ journey from bench to bin . By understanding which materials are being transferred in this stage , we can identify opportunities for recycling and determine the next steps in our recycling efforts ,” Nathan concludes .
Both Brightwell and Hylab have chosen to partner with suppliers that can support the businesses in achieving goals . “ We utilize a large quantity of cardboard cartons for individual products , as well as for packaging and shipping purposes . Over the past year , we have made a significant change in our packaging supplier , transitioning to one that is certified carbon neutral by Carbon Neutral
