Environmental policy

Remembrance Glass is dedicated to ensuring all the processes in creating the pieces are as environmentally friendly as possible. The glassworks clearly uses a lot of natural resources and we are dedicated to reducing the effect the business has on the environment.  

Less than a mile from the glassworks is an anaerobic digestion (AD) plant, a Renewable energy facility. It is based on a 24-acre site and converts biogas to biomethane as part of a gas to grid injection scheme. It’s great to know that some of the gas used in the furnace comes from local crops.

CARBON OFFSETTING 
We carbon offset the energy used in the melting of the glass and the running of the gallery by supporting projects every year, through the Carbon Footprint Trust,   See carbonfootprint.com  This year we have supported Community Based verified Carbon Reduction Projects in China, India and Uganda.

LEAD FREE GLASS
The glass we use is soda based and does not contain any lead. We are, therefore, not releasing any lead into the air during melting and into the water system during the grinding processes.

ENERGY EFFICIENT GALLERY:
All light bulbs used in the gallery are energy efficient LED types.  

PACKAGING
The packaging and gift boxes, Business cards, packaging tape and materials are made from sustainable sources.
