Blackwell & Co. and the Environment

Blackwell & Co. Phacelia Field

At Blackwell & Co. it is of utmost importance to us to progress business while looking after our planet. We take it upon ourselves to introduce clean business practices throughout many departments of the company.

Much of our work is based on environment

  • Biomass Boiler

    We have an on-site biomass boiler which is used to heat our staff facilities and water, and reduces our carbon footprint by around 180.5 tonnes per year.

  • Euro-6 Engines

    Currently, all of our delivery van fleet are equipped with Euro-6 engines, offering the lowest possible emissions.

  • Delivery Schedules

    We try to reduce the number of deliveries that we run to as low as possible, by encouraging customers to order larger and less frequently.

  • Planting Trees

    We introduced a tree planting program transforming an 8 acre area to the south of our site, encouraging wildlife.

  • A Million Bees

    In partnership with our friends at Dingley Dell Pork, we ensure that we feed at least 1 million bees per year.

  • Recycling

    We recycle our reusable plastics, cardboards and other materials from our factory through James Heyes & Sons.
