How can you help to protect the Earth with Feedmark?
Our planet is an incredible place, and here at Feedmark we want to protect it as much as possible.
With plastic having such a negative impact on our environment and causing a huge threat to wildlife, it is vital that we all play our part to reduce plastic usage and live sustainably.
Unfortunately, lots of equine consumables are still packaged in single use plastic, particularly feeds and bedding such as shavings. It is important that, as equestrians, we do all we can to be kind to the environment and support this great planet which we call home.
Here are some of the ways that Feedmark are helping to protect our planet and support the environment:
RECYCLE
We collect old cardboard boxes from various local businesses, then shred these and reuse them as packaging to protect your products during transportation to you.
REDUCE PLASTIC USAGE
Our supplements are available in brown, recyclable paper bags. Once you’ve had your first supplement in one of our sturdy tubs, you can order all subsequent deliveries in a refill bag to reduce plastic usage. Simply decant the supplement into your used tub and fasten the lid, then you can recycle the paper refill bag.
REUSE
We recommend that our tubs are reused. If you no longer need them for supplements, they make very handy buckets for use around your yard or garden etc. Customers have made great use of them for things like paint, nuts and bolts, and even collecting scraps for the compost heap. Once you are finished with the tubs and lids, they can be recycled.
