Bed-Down - Just Better British Bedding

Bed-Down LLP: Our Sustainability Commitments

At Bed-Down LLP, we are deeply committed to sustainability and reducing our environmental impact. Our approach encompasses a wide range of initiatives designed to conserve resources, minimise waste, and promote ecological balance. Here’s how we’re making a difference:

Renewable Energy Initiatives

Solar Panels
We have invested in solar panels to harness renewable energy. These panels supply a significant portion of our electricity needs, reducing our reliance on non-renewable energy sources and lowering our carbon footprint.

Biomass Boilers
Our biomass boilers are a key component of our energy strategy. By using organic materials as fuel, we generate heat in an environmentally friendly manner, further reducing our dependence on fossil fuels.

Eco-Friendly Packaging

Stretch Wrap & Recyclable Packaging
We prioritise the use of eco-friendly materials in our packaging processes. Our stretch wrap is designed to be durable yet environmentally friendly. Additionally, all our packaging materials are recyclable, helping to reduce waste and promote recycling practices.

Reusable Plastics
We incorporate 30% reusable plastic in our products, reducing the need for virgin plastic production and minimising environmental impact.

Waste Reduction & Resource Reuse

Dust Extraction & Pellet Production
Dust extracted from our bedding products is repurposed into pellets and sawdust, which are then supplied to the poultry industry. This not only reduces waste but also provides a valuable resource for other agricultural purposes.

Locally Sourced Straw
Straw is a by-product of the agricultural industry, and we ensure it is sourced as locally as possible. This practice not only supports local farmers but also minimises transportation emissions, keeping our carbon footprint low.

Energy Efficiency & Technological Innovation

Optimised Machinery
We maximise the efficiency of our factory machinery to reduce energy consumption. By ensuring that our equipment runs at optimum levels, we lower our overall energy usage.

Investment in Technology
We continually invest in new technology and innovative ideas to enhance our output while using energy more efficiently. This commitment ensures that we stay at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing practices.

Supporting Biodiversity

Onsite Wild Habitats
We maintain wild habitats on our premises that encourage local wildlife and insects. These habitats play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity and creating a balanced ecosystem.

Sustainable Transportation

Fuel-Efficient Vehicles
Our recent investment in a new Volvo lorry reflects our commitment to reducing fuel usage. This vehicle incorporates the latest global market technology, ensuring it is one of the most energy-efficient options available.

At Bed-Down LLP, we believe that sustainability is an ongoing journey. We are dedicated to continually improving our practices and finding new ways to protect the environment while providing high-quality products for our customers. Thank you for supporting our commitment to a greener future.
