Recycling
Fileder's recycling initiative sends all possible materials to be reprocessed into new products and, where not, all other general waste is generated into energy; consequentially resulting in absolutely 0% to landfill.
Our Business Partners can help support Fileder’s ‘Go Green’ commitment further by recycling wooden pallets, all cardboard and plastic packaging, or reusing items, such as plastic pallets, which are specifically requested by some industries.
Fileder is working with our manufacturing partners to ensure that cardboard packaging meets our goal of using 75% recycled material, with Spectrum and Suez already exceeding this figure.
Working Together to Reduce our Carbon Footprints
Fileder can support your environmental initiatives through its professional services and products, which provide a technical solution for removing contaminants and promoting the conservation of natural resources.
As the global and customer focus turn more to environmental responsibility and action, having Fileder as a business partner promoting sustainability and being part of your supply chain can reduce your company’s carbon footprint.
Electric Company Cars
All company cars are being upgraded from hybrid to electric, meaning less emissions from our sales teams on the road.

Plastic Packaging Tax - 1 April 2022
