Climate Positive Workforce

100 million hectares of tropical forest were lost between 1980 and 2000. That is hard to picture, and is just one of the reasons why at the end of 2021 we partnered with Ecologi. They’re a fantastic company committed to helping workforces become climate positive. With their help we'll be planting 10 trees per employee each month. The trees will be planted across the world as part of projects to support areas impacted by deforestation and climate change. Our first trees will be planted in Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique and Uganda to name a few.

As well as planting trees, the project helps fund planet saving projects such as wind and solar farms, peatland restoration, and providing communities with cleaner energy sources to cook with in countries across Africa and further afield.

In addition to 10 trees planted per employee each month, ADM Protexin are funding 10 trees to be planted in the UK per new employee throughout 2022 as a welcome gift - sounds like another great reason to join the ADM Protexin team.

In 2023 we will have planted over 30,000 trees globally and offset over 2,300 tonnes of carbon - We're pretty excited to be contributing to a greener, happier and healthier planet watch our progress here.

Bio-Kult Packaging

There’s been a huge jump in ship for products moving from plastic to glass packaging as (at a first glance) it appears to be the more planet friendly option. We often get asked what we’re doing with our packaging, specifically with our blister packs and why aren’t our products moving to glass jars.

We’ve never been one to follow the crowd-we are strong believers in doing things properly.

We have to consider the viability and stability of our product. We won’t make any move that would result in our product not being the great product that is on the market now.

Likewise, we’re really conscious that although glass jars appear more conscientious for the planet in terms of being recyclable, the actual impact on the planet, when you consider the Co2 output and emissions that come from manufacturing and recycling glass and transporting heavier goods, isn’t as sustainable as it would appear.

We know our blister packs are not the most sustainable, but we want to make sure any move we make is for the right reasons and not just appearance sake.

We do not currently have the option of bio-plastic blister films as we buy very high grade technical films to protect the quality of the product. However, we are actively searching for suitable alternatives and hopeful that supply options will open up as the bio-plastics market grows. 

In the meantime, our Bio-Kult boxes are fully recycle, curbside. We’ve got much more planned for Bio-Kult and our packs, so watch this space.

Our Staff

Our staff are actively encouraged to get involved with environmental support activities, such as:

• Organized group litter picking sessions in our local area. We’ve partaken in numerous litter picking sessions at Ham Hill a geological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
• This stunning wildlife haven centered around an Iron Age hillfort, offers fantastic opportunities for dog friendly scenic walks, walking, and running, and we’re proud to say we’re regular volunteers in keeping it clean and welcoming.
• Flora and fauna-each employee has been gifted a packet of wild flower seed to sow, whether at home or for areas in need–ADM has been helping nature grow and increase the biodiversity of the area!

One of our colleagues, recently raised £1200 with a further £500 matched by ADM Protexin, for Surfers against Sewage, an environmental charity that are dedicated to the protection of the oceans.
