We at Shallco take our role in this journey of making the planet a greener and better place to live and work seriously.
By continually reviewing our manufacturing processes to highlight areas where we can be more environmentally conscious.
We have already implemented several practices in our throughout our manufacturing and shipping processes, and are working to power the plant in a more ecological way.
Our first steps have been:
We ensure our products are REACH and ROHS compliant and refuse to do business with any company that does business with the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Hopefully you will join us on this journey towards a more sustainable way of doing business for the betterment of our environment.
Looking towards a brighter future for us all to enjoy.
