Environmental Policy

At Essex Tube Windings Ltd, we are committed to minimising our environmental impact and ensuring sustainable manufacturing practices. our goal is to operate within the following guidelines. 

  • Essex Tube Windings will always manufacture cardboard tubes from 100% reclaimed fibres; these reclaimed fibres will primarily be kraft produced in farmed sustainable forests.
  • The tubes will be formed and glued using water-based PVA emulsion glue or similar.
  • All waste produced in the manufacturing process will be segregated with waste cardboard material being bailed to return into the supply chain via a pulp mill.
  • All other dry waste which is not recyclable will be disposed of under license by a designated waste disposal operator.
  • No Liquid waste will be produced during the manufacturing process.
  • Staff will make every effort to ensure that waste is kept to a minimum during the manufacturing process and management will oversee an efficient production pattern to ensure changeover waste is kept to a minimum.
  • Where possible consumable packaging will be recycled unless the item is no longer serviceable at which point Essex Tube Windings Ltd will dispose of the packaging via a sustainable route where possible.
