How do ants and the environment thrive together? Did you know that ants move more soil than earthworms? These incredible tiny insects, often overlooked in our daily lives, play a vital role in maintaining the delicate balance of our environment. The relationship between ants and the environment is one of nature's most fascinating examples of symbiosis! Ants help rebuild what we damaged over the years in the woods.
​Avoiding and reducing CO₂ emissions
We are excited to explore every possible option to minimize the impact of our activities on the environment and climate! In recent years, we've rolled out a range of extensive eco-friendly measures that truly make a difference. With a strong commitment to preventing gas emissions and reducing unavoidable CO2, we're on a mission to create a cleaner, greener future. And guess what? The steps we've taken to protect our planet are already starting to show amazing results!
Biodegradable Packaging – Giving back to nature
We're excited to share that our commitment to the environment shines through in our packaging policy! We proudly choose environment-friendly, compostable, and plastic-free materials, ensuring sustainability at every turn, with just a few exceptions. And that's not all! Our innovative paper and cardboard packages are not only eco-conscious but can also be reused for shipping and returns, making it a-win for you and the planet!
Mobility & the Environment – sharing is caring
Let us announce our very own "Mobility Task Force," which we started in 2017! Recognizing that cars significantly contribute to CO2 emissions, we're dedicated to showcasing eco-friendly and climate-conscious alternatives for transportation. From subsidizing travel cards for public transport to organizing fun car-free days and encouraging carpooling and the use of company bicycles, we're all in! Plus, we prioritize e-cars and public transport, such as trains, for our business trips. Join us in making a positive impact on the environment!
Waste & Recycling - living responsibly
We draw inspiration from nature’s cycles, where nothing is wasted or lost, for our waste management concept. By cleanly and accurately separating waste, we filter valuable materials for transport to a recycling plant.
Returns – less is more
Our product return rate is less than 0.1%. We thoroughly inspect all returned items and, based on their condition, categorize them as A or B goods for sale in our online shops or recycle them internally. When appropriate, we repair defective products or utilize their components as spare parts.
We only have one planet – let's take responsibility for it together!
We're on the brink of a monumental change! With environmental, climate, and species extinction crises at our doorstep, it’s to roll up our sleeves and dive in. The journey to a brighter future starts with each and every one of us! At Best Ants UK, our passion and commitment showcase the incredible impact we can make for our planet.
