A lot of the time it is the little things that are driven by sustainability that make a big difference for example taking away single use plastics from products that arrive in from overseas, reusing cardboard as much as we can until we finally have to recycle, as all businesses will understand there is a cost for commercial waste so to recycle is the last thing we look at.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-09bb757 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"09bb757\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3c0525d\" data-id=\"3c0525d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15af0a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"15af0a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Applying Circular Economy to Sebnini's business<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f677412 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f677412\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f525f4e\" data-id=\"f525f4e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6759edd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6759edd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It\u2019s something Sebnini has been focused on for a long time and the journey started a while ago with small changes throughout the business.<\/p><p><strong>Design Stage<\/strong> \u2013 We try to be as sustainable as possible making the produce reusable and refillable and offering opportunities to the end consumer to reuse too. We ensure that all materials used in the product are recyclable for the final product and don\u2019t include composite materials that can affect the process of recycling or make it difficult. And it\u2019s not just certain products in our range across all our products.<\/p><p><strong>By-Products<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 We reuse where possible, especially trays and holding products that we can reuse in our warehouse until the end of their life and have moved away from plastic pallets which are unrecyclable and move towards standard pallets that we can reuse and then recycle at their life end.<\/p><p><strong>Production<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Production of our products is as efficient as it can be using the latest technology and ensuring the machine we use are as cost-effective as well as environmentally effective. We also ensure that we use full pallets to ensure the maximum efficiency we can and have systems working it out on weight and product distribution to maximise all space.<\/p><p><strong>Consumer<\/strong> \u2013 The end consumer is very important to us and will give them an idea as to how to reuse their candles and also how to recycle, mentioned all the packaging is recyclable so it\u2019s easy for everyone.
