Environmental Journey

At Jasco Distributing, we are dedicated to enhancing our sustainability efforts and reducing our carbon footprint. We believe that every small action contributes to a significant positive impact on our planet.

Firstly, we prioritise the principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. This means that we actively seek ways to minimise our waste and make the most of our resources. For example, we implement recycling programs within our facilities and encourage our employees to adopt sustainable practices in their daily tasks.

Secondly, we are dedicated to offering and promoting products or practices that are more sustainable and environmentally friendly. We carefully select products that have a lower impact, such as those made from recycled materials or those that are biodegradable. By doing so, we not only reduce our own footprint but also help our customers make more sustainable choices.

Our Sustainable Business platform is a key initiative that reflects our awareness of the environmental impact of our products and services. This platform is designed to educate and inspire our customers to consider the environmental consequences of their day-to-day practices or product purchases. We provide information and resources to help them understand the benefits of choosing more sustainable products.

Moreover, we are committed to continuously expanding our range of environmental products and systems. We actively seek out new sustainable products and rigorously evaluate them to ensure they meet our high standards. This includes working with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability. We believe that by aligning ourselves with like-minded partners, we can collectively make a greater impact.

In summary, our approach to sustainability at Jasco Distributing is comprehensive and proactive. We are dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint, offering sustainable products, and educating our customers about the importance of sustainability. We invite everyone to join us on this journey towards a greener world.

"WINNER" - Sustainability in Business" 

 

REDUCE

At Jasco Distributing, we incorporate Lean Business principles, particularly the 5S methodology, to minimise waste. We encourage all employees to take ownership of reducing waste and energy consumption by:

  • Placing display cards around the office and warehouse to prompt energy and water conservation where feasible.
  • Reducing the use of paper and ink.
  • Utilising digital communication whenever possible.
  • Actively promoting and using sustainable products.

REUSE

Jasco Distributing encourages all staff to reuse any waste materials found in daily activities that can be repurposed within the distribution operation. Examples include:

  • Reusing cardboard cartons for packing and dispatching customer orders.
  • Utilising loose sheets of paper, old newspapers, and other forms of loose packaging material to secure customer orders in recycled cartons.
  • Swapping wooden pallets received from bulk deliveries with existing surplus pallets each time a delivery is received from a freight company.
  • Reusing non-returnable wooden pallets for sending out larger customer orders.
  • Empty plastic containers from hygiene and cleaning chemicals can be returned to us. These are then returned to a local manufacturer for re-filling & recycling

RECYCLE

Jasco Distributing is committed to daily recycling through various opportunities, including:

  • Returning used ink and toner cartridges to the manufacturer for refilling and recycling.
  • Placing waste lunchroom containers for curbside recycling.
  • Placing waste cardboard boxes or cardboard for curbside recycling.
  • Plastic waste and discarded pallet wrap is collected and recycled
  • Using 100% recycled paper products whenever possible, from printed stationery to washroom systems.
