SUSTAINABILITY

We realise our responsibility to manufacture long lasting, quality products and to do so with minimal impact on the environment.

Environmental Products

At Wade Spring all springs that we manufacture (excluding those treated/coated) are 100% recyclable.

One of the most effective ways to improve sustainability and lessen our environmental impact is to manufacturer products that are built to last. For more information on how we achieve this, see our Quality & Testing page.


Solar Energy

In 2012 we purchased 210 solar panels which are located on our factory roof. These panels are significantly reducing our energy consumption, we have been able to reduce our carbon footprint by @24,000kgs p.a.


Lighting

As part of ongoing improvements to our site all our factory lighting has been changed to low energy fittings with both movement and light level (lux) sensors.


ESOS

The recent ESOS (Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme) survey was very complimentary towards Wade Spring with no action or recommendations to improve our current facilities.
