Sustainability
Reducing our environmental impact is a really important part of how we work at EFX. From the materials we use to how we power our machines, we always consider our effect on our environment.
Sustainable materials
Wherever we can, EFX try to use sustainable or recycled materials for our awards and our packaging too. Our aluminium is 79% recycled and we also work in 100% recycled acrylic, stone, plastic and preloved components such as circuit boards.
Our wooden awards are made in sustainable timber from certified sources, and we’ve also traded plastic tape for paper, and use biodegradable packing materials and recycled bubble wrap to protect and pack your trophies.
Cutting carbon with Ecologi
Our partnership with Ecologi means that we can contribute to carbon reduction projects as well as tree planting.
-
We fund the planting of one tree for every order, and another tree for every £500 spent with us
-
We fund community projects that harness sustainable power such as wind and landfill gas

Sustainable production
Being environmentally conscious isn’t just about what we use, it’s about every impact we have on our environment. That’s why we’ve invested in solar panels and waste water treatment for our manufacturing site too. We also recycle our waste aluminium and our acrylic is recycled to produce RDF (refuse derived fuel) as an alternative to fossil fuel/landfill.
With so much work being made in-house at our Ettington Park production site, using sustainable power and effective water treatment is the best way to reduce our impact on our environment.
Zero to landfill
Our Zero to Landfill target means that we use the mantra, Reduce, Re-use and Recycle. In order to cut down on waste, we recycle as much as possible and use innovative alternatives to sending unusable material to landfill.
Trophy recycling
Not only do we use recycled materials for our trophies, we can also recycle your old unwanted awards and medals for you too!
