Environmental

At LaptopElements.co.uk we are very conscious of the effect our business has upon our "carbon footprint" and, as a consequence, very aware of the need to reduce the emissions resultant from and relating to our activities.

Energy saving light bulbs are used, as a matter of course, throughout our offices and warehouse; all our waste is recycled wherever possible; we do our very best to package products in materials made from renewable resources and when this is not possible - as in the case of bubble wrap - we use a product made from cellulose which is completely biodegradable.

We would like to encourage our customers, too, to consider the environmental impact inherent in buying and using a computer or computer equipment. Carbon emissions will be significantly reduced if we all reuse or recycle the packaging, and energy will be saved if we put our computers to sleep when we leave the room or turn our attention to another task.

Environmental damage can also be caused by the improper disposal of computer batteries, most towns these days have a recycling centre where batteries and used computer hardware can be taken for disassembly and recycling. In the case of batteries where customers who do not have access to the proper facilities, you are invited to send us an email and obtain a Recycle Authorization Approval to send us your old laptop batteries for recycling and correct disposal.
