In addition to paper, of course, we also recycle cardboard, textiles, plastics, e-media and e-devices. This benefits not only impacts on the environment, but also, in a double win-win, your sustainability goals.<\/p>\n<p>But what are we doing behind the scenes to cut energy or fossil fuel use, emissions and general consumption?

Cars, vans, secure collection vehicles and our mobile shredding trucks are the primary source of emissions for our business, known as Scope 1 emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Our Carbon Reduction Plan involves a comprehensive transition from, for example, achieving an all-electric (EV)\/hybrid company car policy in 2024, to expanding our on-site electric charging infrastructure, and using Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) as a transition fuel for our heavy goods vehicles (HGVs).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"nav-link btn-default\" href=\"https:\/\/www.restore.co.uk\/datashred\/about-restore-datashred\/carbon-reduction-plan\/\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\"\"><span>Carbon Reduction Plan<\/span><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\r\n<section id=\"block--block_498363cb1857db6e9386335fe2c48eef\" class=\"content-block \">\r\n\t<h2><strong>Understanding the impact of our plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Precisely what are Scope 1 emissions? These are emissions from sources that an organisation \u2013 Restore Datashred in this instance \u2013 owns or controls directly. For us, the primary source of Scope 1 emissions, as stated above, is the fuel we burn in our fleet. Since our gamut of vehicles forms our core strategic operational focus, we have targeted them directly, as follows.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Company cars<\/strong>: we achieved a transition to 100% EV\/hybrid company car policy in 2024.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vans and infrastructure<\/strong>: we are moving to an EV fleet for vans where range and cost make this practicable, and have supported this change by installing EV chargers across our sites. We continue to scale this operation upwards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy goods vehicles (HGVs)<\/strong>: where EV technology is not yet viable for heavy-duty requirements, we have been investing in HVO and continue to roll out installation of HVO tanks across our portfolio of sites. At our Coventry and Optima Park facilities, for example, our digital logging and calibrated pumping systems make sure every litre of renewable fuel is tracked with precision, which provides the high-quality data found on your customer portal that you need for your own sustainability audits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n<section id=\"block--block_b57db001d740ecbcb5e9549a20da480b\" class=\"content-quote-60-40 \">\r\n\t<div class=\"container\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"row mx-n5 \">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-lg-6 quote-left px-lg-5\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\"><h2>How our Plan helps you reduce your footprint, increase your sustainability<\/h2><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content-quote-desc\"><p>You enjoy the ripple effect from our reductions!<\/p>\n<p>Scope 3 emissions are those that occur indirectly up stream in your supplier and services chain and they need to be accounted for in any carbon reporting your business undertakes.
