Quinn Radiators is committed to protecting the environment. We consider the environmental impact of our products and activities while continuing to provide safe, quality merchandise that meets customer and consumer needs. Quinn Radiators are committed to the operation of all activities and processes in an environmentally sound and sustainable manner. This includes addressing the environmental aspects of our radiator manufacturing processes in order to reduce waste and promote recycling. In order to achieve the mission of conservation and efficient use of natural resources, Quinn Radiators:-
- Continually review manufacturing processes and consider new technologies and innovative procedures to reduce the use of and protect energy, water and other resources, while at the same time maintaining the maximum standards of product safety and quality.
- This commitment to innovation in our new state of the art production facility in Newport, Wales ensures minimum energy usage & low emissions. It further enables Quinn Radiators to produce the most efficient radiator on the European market using the lowest amount of steel for heat output. This in turn allows for optimum heat transfer and therefore minimum heat loss through the heating system.
- Work with local, national and international legislators and regulators as well as the industry, to comply with and help create reasonable and effective laws and regulations aimed at protecting the environment.
- Design packages and packaging systems to minimise the impact on the environment and waste streams. This may include considerations of minimising package materials and using less or alternative materials.
- Consider the utilisation of recycled materials in product design as well as the recycleability of components at the end of useful life.
- Our fully automated production facility ensures minimum waste, however, Quinn Radiators recycles 100% of any waste resulting from the production process.
- We also have automated warehousing with all picking done on site and therefore no additional traffic movements to other locations, generating less damage and therefore waste.
- Educate employees, and customers through activities that promote environmental responsibility e.g. carbon footprinting.
- Consider and try to meet the opportunities presented by evolving retailer and consumer attitudes toward the environment.
-
Activities are conducted with due regard to all statutory laws and regulations.
- Appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the community, workplace and environment.
- We are committed to recycling and environmentally friendly production techniques.
- We have implemented an energy management system in response to climate control legislation.
- We are members of VALPAK (a registered compliance scheme under the packaging waste regulations).
