Triton's Environment Policies

Developing products that play their part in helping to make sustainable housing a reality is just one aspect of the Triton approach

As concern for the environment is an integral part of our business strategy, we register and maintain a system that conforms to EMS ISO 14001. As such, we have internal recycling policies that cover everything from paper, cardboard, plastics, PCBs and metals, through both our factory and office. And our policy demands that new initiatives are being launched all the time.

Product packaging is a big issue within Triton for both goods inwards and despatch of final products.  We constantly strive to use the minimum amount of packaging without compromising the need to protect our products and we also try to keep the types of packaging to a minimum to make it easier for our customers to dispose of and recycle waste with out cross contamination

Triton is proud of its achievements in the area of environmental performance, as has been demonstrated in our design and manufacturing processes, which assist in minimising environmental effects and associated hazards on the premises.

As regards our future environmental objectives, Triton will:

• Make every effort to use environmentally safe and sustainable resources and, where possible, manufacture products from materials which are capable of being recycled

• Minimise the creation of waste and dispose of all wastes through safe and reasonable methods, which are in compliance with all relevant legislation and will control the discharges of effluent to sewers and ground water, as required by regulation, through consents and control
