For the Environment
Solar
We operate 160kW of solar panels, producing around 80MWh of power each year.
On a sunny day, our shelving factory electricity is wholly provided by the sun!
CO2 Offsetting
CAEM has, since 2020 offset it's Carbon through the planting of trees. In 2020/21 we used Forest Carbon to plant trees across its sites in Cumbria. This year we are offsetting with Carbon Footprint, which not only supports the planting of trees in the UK, but also support the continued protection of the Brazilian Rainforests.
Reduced Plastic Waste
With millions of tons of plastic ending up in landfill or in the environment each year. CAEM has made a pledge to reduce it's plastic use to a minimum. To this end it introduced improved wrapping techniques across its manufacturing facilities that use 40% less.
Reverse Logistics
CAEM does not only manufacture and sell retail shelving and fixtures. We also support retailers in the remanufacture, repair and renovation of these GNFR items. This both saves money for the client and reduces the impact on the environment.
Heat Recovery
The state of the art powder coating line within our shelving manufacturing plant is a marvel, with huge capacity. Even better, the system uses an advanced Heat Exchanger that reuses the heat generated during the curing process. This is far more efficient and saves around 150MW (13,500M3 of gas) per year of energy that would otherwise be wasted.
Gas not Diesel
As the business has expanded the need for energy across our shelving manufacturing facilities has grown also. We have already subsidised our electricity use through the installation of solar panels, but for the extra power also needed a greener solution. That is why we've invested in the latest Gas technology and ditched traditional diesel.
Electric Press Brakes
The Press Brakes installed in our shelving plant were chosen based on their performance, but also on their energy usage. Instead of hydraulic machines we opted for electric to reduce our environmental impact and aim for more energy efficient manufacturing.
Recyclever
CAEM's sister company Recyclever manufactures Reverse Vending Machines.
These are used by retailers to collect empty drinks containers and refund the deposit paid upon purchase under a Deposit Return Scheme legislation.
