Flashbay and the Environment |
 |
As a responsible global company Flashbay believes that it is crucial that we show our environment the level of care and respect that it deserves.
We aim to help protect the environment by preventing pollution, making continuous improvements to environmental relevant proceses while abiding by laws and regulations.

- The Flashbay factory and UK Office are both Carbon Neutral ® as of Febuary 2008. As a responsible global leader in our field we are proud to be the 1st USB Flash drive Manufactuer and 1st supplier of Corporate Merchandise to be registered as Carbon Neutral ®. How did we do it?
- Flashbay UK is powered by Ecotricity - the world's first renewable
energy electricity company. This helps us to reduce our carbon footprint and
support the generation of power from renewable sources.
- All lighting and electrical devices (with the exception of our server) are
powered down nightly to conserve energy. Where any device has an energy saving
feature this is enabled. Wherever possible Flashbay avoids the use of
incandescent light bulbs.
- Flashbay has a policy of upgrading our dated technology with newer energy
efficient models, improving both performance, energy consumption and efficiency.
- Flashbay engages in recycling of both production materials and commercial
waste in all our locations worldwide.
- Flashbay offers products manufactured using recycled materials, where the
customer shares our concern for the environment and requests these.
- Flashbay endeavors to use packaging made from recycled materials.
- All Flashbay employees are encouraged to mirror the company's environmental
values through recycling and conserving energy.
- All Flashbay employees travel to and from work using either public transport
or by walking, keeping our carbon footprint with respect to staff travel as low
as possible.
- Flashbay uses United Parcel Service (UPS) for shipping orders to our customers. To help reduce our carbon footprint we chose a courier who actively strives to minimise their impact on the environment (Read more about UPS and the environment)
- Flashbay shipments are batched and processed in bulk to minimise the number
of delivery trips required to move your order from our locations to your final
delivery destination.
- We encourage all our customers and suppliers to share our environmental
concern and implement their own policies and practices to minimise the impact
that they have on the environment.
