The Environmental impact that S+B UK has on the world has always been at the forefront of our minds, long before it was such a major factor and global subject for discussion.
We have developed low energy consumption fume cupboards without compromising the primary function of protecting users against harmful fumes. We have developed recirculatory fume cupboards which consume a tiny proportion of the energy required to operate a ducted fume cupboard.
All our wood-based products are sustainably sourced with FSC and PEFC certification. S+B has full membership of the “Furniture industry sustainability programme” and has secured the ISO14001 (Environmental) Accreditation.
Finally, all our wood, paper and metal waste materials are recycled through our waste management partners.
