Embracing sustainability - Efforts to reduce waste and preserve resources

Toolmaking has been around for millions of years and is an integral part of everyday life. It’s no secret that modern manufacturing and consumption is problematic from an environmental perspective, and the toolmaking industry is no exception. However, we need tools to manufacture the technology of the future, to prolong the lifespan of things already manufactured and to improve upon that which no longer serves the planet.

One of the core ideas of the Get Organised concept is that every time a tool is lost and needs to be replaced there’s a negative impact on the environment, and an expense, that could have been avoided.   

Further, longevity is a characteristic of premium hand tools. The longer a tool lasts before wear and tear makes it useless the better. 

Proper tool storage reduces the likelihood of the tools being knocked around, exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures which could have a detrimental effect on their performance. 

In 2023 we intend to focus particularly on how to make our packaging more sustainable by reducing the amount of plastic, use recyclable plastic when possible and use recycled plastic to a larger extent. We have already begun to decrease the amount of packaging materials that we use in order to help minimize waste, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve natural resources. As an example, in the coming year our products will get a more eco-friendly type of cardboard packaging. 

Apart from the inherent qualities of our concept we are serious about sustainability and will continue to improve on our goals for the future.
