General Principles

We work to batch production methods. This means that we optimise the use of our virgin material, be it wood, plastic, or metal
We reduce the carbon footprint of our materials and equipment by purchasing in bulk, managing the most efficient delivery method and recycling where possible.

Recycling
At Equal Adventure we are fanatical about reducing the amount of material we use to create your products and resources:

metal – we recycle scrap metal
wood – off-cuts are used for heating
ink cartridges and mobile phones – recycled by Recycle for Charity which provides a modest income to support further developments
batteries, paper, plastic, card, tins and glass – recycled at kerbside or nearby facilities
computer parts – we use a lot of software as a service which means that we can utilise computer hardware efficiently; hardware is recycled
foam – used with 100% efficiency due to our innovative shredding machine
fabric – cut efficiently, with off-cuts being donated to Highland Hospice;
we disassemble and recycle any EA products you send back to us at the end of their life.

Profit

We work with a ‘not for profit’ ethos. Any profit made is used to grow the business and further support its mission. This means that our prices are set to prioritise value to our customers while maintaining our survival.

Process

The EA team continually works to improve our processes and quality.
