This is a milestone we have been creeping up on for a few years... and suddenly last week we jumped past it.
We have officially rescued 307.6 tonnes, or 307,600kg of materials that would otherwise have gone to landfill. Over the last 18 years we have transformed this into items that are still living wonderful lives, holding up your jeans, carrying your laptops, and accompanying you around the world on all your journeys.
Thank you! Without you we would still be at 0.
What else wouldn't have happened?
- We wouldn't have been able to donate more than £350,000.00 to our charity partners, primarily The Firefighters Charity and Barefoot College International.
- We wouldn't have been able to offer more than 150 work experience opportunities and apprenticeships.
- We wouldn't have been able to establish our own manufacturing sites, or build our beautiful renewably powered straw bale workshop.
- We wouldn't have been able to set up a regenerative vineyard and wetland based sewage treatment system at New Barns Farm.
- We wouldn't be a certified Social Enterprise.
- We wouldn't be a Living Wage Certified employer.
- And we wouldn't be in the top 75 highest scoring B Corps in the world.
