Sustainability
In
brief
Milltech's main building in Norwich runs on 100% renewable electricity, generated in part by the solar array on our own roof. 95% of our packaging is recyclable, renewable or biodegradable; we recycle materials and tooling, run LED lighting throughout, and have invested in electric business vehicles and an energy-efficient compressor. Employees across the business are trained through the Carbon Literacy Project, and we report alongside the Indutrade Group.
Our commitment
How we manufacture responsibly
Sustainability is part of how we run the business, from the culture on the shop floor to the materials that leave our door. We treat sustainable profit, people and the environment as one responsibility, and improve a little every day.
100% 
95% 02
Biodegradable, re-usable and recyclable packaging
95% of our packaging is recyclable, renewable or biodegradable, and we keep reducing single-use materials wherever we can.
03
Recycling materials and tooling
Swarf, offcuts and worn tooling are recycled rather than binned. The material that doesn't leave as a component goes back into the chain.
04
LED lighting throughout the business
LED lighting runs throughout the business, cutting the energy the building draws before a single spindle turns.
05
Multiple electric business vehicles
We've invested in multiple electric business vehicles, taking the emissions out of the miles we run day to day.
06
Energy-efficient compressor
We've invested in an energy-efficient compressor. Compressed air runs constantly on a machine shop, so it's one of the biggest wins available to us.
The Carbon Literacy Project
Trained, not just committed
Employees in various roles across the business are trained in Carbon Literacy through the Carbon Literacy Project, an accredited certification rather than an internal slide deck.
That's deliberate. A policy signed at the top changes nothing on a shop floor; people who understand the carbon cost of a decision make better ones at the machine, in the office and on the road.
