Carbon Action Points
Carbon Action Points™ is not only Energy Saving Warehouse’s way of saying thank you for procuring your products with us, but also, our unique way of helping you to reduce your business’s carbon footprint and actually make a greater, greener impact. We have teamed up with Carbon Action Points™ to bring you this unique way of tracking the environmental benefits and carbon saving properties of your purchases and ultimately further reducing your footprint by offsetting when your points accumulate.
You are rewarded with Carbon Action Points™ everytime you procure a product from us.
With the aid of cutting edge Environmental research and knowledge, Carbon Action Points™ have allocated points to each product on the Energy Saving Warehouse product portal. Points are rewarded based upon a number of product features including:
- % post consumer paper content
-
% total recycled content
-
Energy Saving Potential
-
Remanufactured features
-
Solar Powering
-
Embedded Water and Carbon
-
Energy Creation Capability
For every 100 Carbon Action Points™ you earn, we will plant a tree in a UK based carbon offset scheme, which helps you make an even bigger impact on climate change. By exchanging your points for trees you are taking a massive step towards becoming carbon neutral. Through photosynthesis trees absorb carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and wood. On average, one broad leaf tree will absorb in the region of 1 tonne of carbon dioxide during its full life-time (approximately 100 years).
Planting a tree will help to:
-
Offset CO2 emissions
-
Provide wildlife habitats
-
Plant native British trees
-
Enhance the natural UK landscape
Each tree will be a native British broad-leaved species and all are high quality cell grown 'whips' (one year old saplings) that will correspond to a unique certificate, with tree location, presented to your organisation and downloadable on the Carbon Action Points™ System. Each tree will meet the Woodland Carbon Code Standard.
