Recycling and Sustainability Statement

At SG Lock & Security we are committed to reducing our environmental impact through thoughtful packaging choices, responsible waste management, and continuous improvement in our sustainability practices.

Packaging Improvements:

  • We have recently transitioned from plastic packing tape to paper packing tape, made from 50% recycled material and 100% recyclable.
  • Our void fill has been upgraded from plastic to paper void fill, made with 100% recycled content and fully recyclable.
  • We actively reduce box sizes where possible to minimise the need for excess void fill.

Shipping Cartons:

  • Approximately 50% of our shipping cartons are internally recycled, sourced from inbound packaging and staff contributions.
  • The remaining cartons are made from 100% recycled materials and are fully recyclable.

Product Packaging:

  • In 2025 we have replaced Garage & Gate packaging with recyclable cardboard packaging.
  • A large percentage of our LOCKTON range uses plain brown cardboard boxes, avoiding plastic-coated printed layers commonly used by other brands. This ensures our packaging is more sustainable and easier to recycle.

Onsite Recycling:

  • We maintain Paper & Cardboard Recycling and Co-Mingled Recycling bins at our facility, significantly reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill.

We are proud to lead by example and continue exploring new ways to improve our environmental footprint across all areas of our operations.
