tickit® Environmental Policy
- tickit® products are certified non-toxic, which means they do not contain phthalates, lead or cadmium.
- All solid wood sourced for our range comes from ethically and sustainably managed forests and plantations.
- All composite wood we use, such as plywood and MDF, is certified formaldehyde free.
- We use water-based, non-toxic paints and stains.
- The majority of our leaflets and guides are printed with soy ink which is biodegradable and makes paper recycling more efficient.
- Our wooden shipping pallets are reusable and when they reach the end of their lives, they can be turned into wood chip.
- We are working towards using recyclable packaging for all tickit® products and the elimination of single use plastics.
- Where possible, our tickit® boxes are glue-free, making them easier to fully recycle.
- Our tickit® product boxes and our warehouse cardboard packing boxes are made from at least 75% recycled material.
- The tickit® range is tested to the latest European and International standards for consumer products and toy safety.
At tickit® HQ, we have installed solar panels on our warehouse roof, which means we rely less on fossil fuels for our energy. We choose to source our electricity and gas from suppliers committed to switching to a lower carbon economy, through the use of sustainable energy sources such as tidal, wave and wind power. All cardboard and paper generated is sent for recycling and we are currently investigating how the plastic we use can be recycled.
