Packaging is often far greater than it need be.

With packaging, the following areas should be considered:

• Larger packaging means fewer units/shipment (which means more shipments required)
• The packaging needs to be shipped around before being used
• The packaging may or may not be made from recycled materials
• The packaging may or may not be recycleable itself
• Our domestic waste is now being weighed, and we will be charged for the volume we generate, even though we have no say in the size of the packaging accompanying the purchased products
• Shipment of waste, recycling, etc. is costly, and has its own environmental impact
• No clear labelling exists to explain the impact of the above areas

Whatever product or service you offer, or whatever club, organisation or charity you work with, we want to know about it.

So firstly register yourself, and then add your listing to the appropriate section, and once your listing is approved, that's it. You can then be contacted directly through the website.

Please see our help section for how to register, and add information to the various sections.

And keep the readers posted with updates on progress by submitting an article, either one-off, or more regularly.
