Environment-Friendly Key Tags

AUTOTAG IS PLEASED TO OFFER OUR CUSTOMERS A SELECTION OF PRODUCTS WHICH ARE EITHER PLASTIC-FREE OR WHICH USE RECYCLED PLASTIC.

AUTOTAG REMAINS FULLY COMMITTED TO MINIMISING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT. WE CONSTANTLY REVIEW OUR MANUFACTURING PROCESSES TO ENSURE OUR OPERATION IS AS ENVIRONMENTALLY-SYMPATHETIC AS POSSIBLE.

RECENT FURTHER SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT HAS RESULTED IN IMPROVED PRACTICES BEING IMPLEMENTED AT OUR MANUFACTURING FACILITY – RESULTING IN AN INCREASED RECYCLING CAPACITY.

SO, WHILST THE COST OF RECYCLING CURRENTLY REMAINS SIMILAR TO PRODUCING REGULAR NEW-MATERIAL TAGS, WE REMAIN STEADFAST IN OUR COMMITMENT TO RECYCLING.

WE ENCOURAGE OUR CUSTOMERS TO PARTICIPATE BY SENDING USED TAGS TO US FOR RECYCLING.

———–

OUR STANDARD MK I, MK II AND WORKSHOP KEY TAGS ARE MADE FROM POLYPROPYLENE (PLASTIC NUMBER 5 FOR RECYCLING) AND CONTAIN ONLY CARBON AND  HYDROGEN ATOMS.

WE EMPLOY THERMAL PRINTING TO AVOID THE HARMFUL CHEMICALS USED BY SOME OF OUR COMPETITORS. OUR TAGS ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY HARMLESS UPON DISPOSAL AND, WHILST THEY CAN BE DISPOSED OF WITH GENERAL WASTE, THEY TAKE A CONSIDERABLE TIME TO DEGRADE AND THIS IS ANOTHER REASON FOR RECYCLING.

OUR POPULAR RETURNS SERVICE ENABLES US TO CLEAN AND RE-GRANULATE USED TAGS FOR RECYCLING INTO A VARIETY OF PLASTIC PRODUCTS – INCLUDING MORE TAGS.

WE BELIEVE WE ALL HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO MINIMISE OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT – BOTH AS A COMPANY AND AS INDIVIDUALS. IN ADDITION TO THE IN-HOUSE PRACTICES LISTED IN OUR ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY, WE HAVE NOW EXPANDED OUR RANGE OF ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY KEY TAGS:

  ECO TAG

THESE ARE OUR MOST ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY TAGS. THEY ARE FSC APPROVED CARD TAGS WHICH CARRY PEFC CERTIFICATION AND ARE SUPPORTED BY THE WOODLAND TRUST. THE TAG IS PRINTED TO BOTH SIDES TO ALLOW EACH TAG TO BE USED TWICE BEFORE DISPOSAL.

  JAZZ TAG

THESE TAGS HAVE PROVED POPULAR SINCE INTRODUCED TWO YEARS AGO. THEY ARE THE PRODUCT OF CHANGING FROM ONE COLOUR TO ANOTHER IN THE  INJECTION MOULDING PROCESS. PREVIOUSLY REJECTED AS OF INFERIOR FINISH, THESE TAGS WERE DESTINED TO BE DEGRANULATED AND RECYCLED INTO OTHER PRODUCTS BUT WE NOW SUPPLY THEM TO ENVIRONMENTALLY-CONSCIOUS CUSTOMERS AT A LOWER PRICE.
