Much overseas trade and in particular that from China and Asia has been heavily targeted by environmental campaigners who want to move goods away from traveling long distances and to try and ensure that materials are manufactured in as sustainable way as possible.

Here at IMI we use freight forwarders who are committed to Net Zero and have taken huge steps to reduce emissions. We do not want to pollute the world! New vessels with more efficient fuel use and solar vessels are coming! Some are already here and being used. Electric vehicles are deployed for local delivery, etc.

• Other examples of what we now do to aid and route us to fully sustainable practices are numerous.
• We deploy FCA paper and card throughout our products and their packaging and do not use any plastic wherever we can.
• Our shipping cartons utilize paper tape for sealing and all the pallets we use for deliveries are eco wrapped.
• When we have to make items in plastic we use GRS plastics, so that items are certifiably made from recycled plastic.
• We ensure all the materials we deploy can be recycled.
• We act responsibly to ensure that carbon capture policies are in place to counter the affects of any fossil fuel usage on travel, etc.

We are keen to target zero minimal waste and have measures in place to ensure we act carefully and anything we dispose of is done under strict surveillance.

There are many other measures and practices we follow today which that make IMI a responsible citizen in today’s society.

We want a planet that our children, grand children and many future generations can enjoy but we need to act now. Thankfully we are.

At IMI we are doing our bit to make the world a better place and we are fully to committed it!
