Vado increases sustainability

Bathroom brassware manufacturer Vado has revamped its packaging solutions to streamline processes and maximise efficiencies in order to realise a more sustainable solution in the warehouse

Following an internal review, some of the company’s inefficiencies were identified as originating in the packing area.

Working with sustainable packaging provider Protega, staff at Vado redesigned the packing requirements in one area. Bench capacity was increased by 37% and individual stations created to improve focus areas and improve staff output, reduce errors, reduce manual handling injuries and contain all. As a result, fewer mistakes occurred, in fact none was recorded following the installation.

As part of the company’s focus on ESG (environment, social, governance), the packaging is now recycled and recyclable and is FSC certified, and sourced in the UK. The subsequent reduction in carbon emissions is also part of the company’s continuous improvement plan.
