The Grass is Greener at Bull Products

Many companies and organisations might say that they believe in a sustainable business agenda but too few are delivering the changes in working practices that are necessary to reduce carbon emissions and their subsequent impact on the environment.

The leadership team here at Bull Products has always been dedicated to ethical and socially responsible business practices and our environmental commitment is resolute, positive, and focused on the benefits that it brings to us as an organisation as well as our customers. We want to help our customers reduce their carbon footprint to meet their pledges and commitments.

Our clear objective is to be carbon neutral by 2030 and that is why we launched our Green Bull division; making a significant investment into a Green Bull bespoke facility to refurbish equipment.

Recover, Revive and Reuse

Through Green Bull, we are fully equipped to Recover, Revive and Reuse our products when it is safe and practical to do so. Fire protection equipment, including fire extinguishers, fire alarms, stands and trolleys, are recovered from sites to the Green Bull facility to be revived, incorporating the majority of the original components, to produce a finished product in full working condition, compliant with all relevant regulations for re-use.

The disposal of safety products to landfill when a building development is completed occurs far too frequently. It’s a waste of resources, and adversely affects carbon emissions through the disposal process. Our initial assessment is that we will be able to refill and, therefore, recirculate back into the market around 35-40% of water and foam fire extinguishers, making a more environmentally friendly alternative available to our customers. This will reduce transportation costs, product manufacturing and material costs and ultimately carbon impact.

We have calculated that by reviving and reusing products we can make significant carbon reductions for our customers. For instance, by refilling our foam extinguishers we can save 1.2 trees per extinguisher and by refilling our water extinguishers we can save 0.7 trees per extinguisher.
