Metalube Plants Trees in Further Commitment to Carbon Neutral Policy

Metalube has once again committed to carbon neutrality by planting over 1,000 trees in North Yorkshire, UK.

The company first started its carbon neutral policy in 2019 and has since then implemented a series of efficiency upgrades to its manufacturing processes around the globe. In addition to offsetting carbon, the company has planted native trees in the Yorkshire dales which has been validated and verified under the woodland carbon code.  The aim is to continue with tree planting whilst actively reducing the carbon footprint within the organisation through several efficiency projects.

Environmental responsibility has always played a key role in the business, which has worked successfully with the Business Growth Hub’s Manufacturing and Resource Efficiency Services.  Robert Brown, Managing Director says: “The ‘corporate carbon footprint’ is an important component for the development of our climate protection strategy. We have analysed and identified reduction potentials and subsequently defined our goals.  The procedure for calculating the footprint is carried out in accordance with the guidelines of the GHG Protocol.   We’re also constantly looking at what is the right thing to do in terms of raw materials and developing lubricants that are safer for the environment without compromising performance. We’re doing some quite innovative things such as soluble products that you add water to, which means less product needs to be shipped.”

他补充道：“浪费和废弃包装是我们热衷于关注的另一个接触点。我们目前正在尽可能地将包装从塑料转变为塑料，我们还调查了使用回收桶的情况，事实证明这很困难。但我们一直在探索新的方法。以正确的方式使用偏移很重要。减少自己的排放量应该是一种激励，而不是你付钱后忘记的东西；在我看来，这是错误的做法。这是关于首先使您的制造正确。查看您的原材料并有效地管理您的库存。投资于我们自己的工厂并改进我们的制造工艺。这些东西都会对环境产生影响。”

Metalube is part of The Metalube Group which is the holding company for a group of industrial lubricants brands – Metalube, Molyslip and Vapor-Tek.   Located in Irlam, Manchester UK, the group is owned and managed by a team of directors with extensive knowledge of the market for industrial lubricants both in the UK and across the World.
