Nest Building

Nest Building

At this time of year, birds are busily gathering the materials to construct their nests. As with good quality packaging, they need the right materials and design to protect their eggs.

Many individuals and organisations are keen to give nature a helping hand. Aware of the year on year reduction of natural habitats and the impact that this can have on our native species, they chose to make gardens, parks, nature reserves and other green areas attractive to wildlife.

The Nestbox Company

One of our customers, The Nestbox Company, has been designing and manufacturing a variety of species specific homes for UK wildlife, including owls, garden birds, bats, insects and hedgehogs. With advice from leading nature organisations including the RSPB, Bat Conservation Trust and ZSL London Zoo, they have created nest boxes that offer the most favourable conditions for each species.

A company that actively supports wildlife and supplies to the likes of the National Trust, Natural England and Wildlife Trusts has to be acutely aware of their environmental impact. The Nestbox Company is FSC registered and is a Rainforest Alliance partner. They are conscious of the materials, energy and water used in the production of their goods.

Environmental Packaging

Their values have led them to explore the options when it comes to environmental packaging. The company have worked with us to reduce the volume of packaging used, to minimise waste and to ensure that their boxes come from sustainable sources. They actively reuse their packaging and have increased the recyclability of all packaging. As a result they can encourage their customers to compost or recycle both the packaging and products when they are no longer of use.

If environmental packaging is a priority in your company, get in touch with Aylesbury Box Company. Our Green Policy has had an impact on the materials and processes we use to manufacture boxes, so we can be trusted to support your environmental credentials.
