Envirofacturing

Thomas Dudley is committed to greener manufacturing. This commitment is underlined by our Envirofacturing initiative which outlines the steps we take to remain at the forefront of environmentally responsible grey cast iron, ductile cast iron and bathroom products production.

• We have attained BS EN ISO 14001, the recognised standard for environmental management systems
• We employ best practice and lean manufacturing principles throughout the organisation to maximise manufacturing efficiency
• We invest heavily in technology designed to reduce our emissions and energy consumption
• We manufacture grey cast iron components, ductile iron components and bathroom products in the UK and not overseas, helping to reduce the environmental cost and carbon footprint of transportation
• Our catalogues are printed on recycled paper by local printers
• We recycle our waste paper by shredding it on-site and re-use it for packing purposes
• Our foundry converts scrap iron into value added products to provide the ultimate recycling service
• Our bathroom products division recycles waste plastic produced during production
• We manufacture and strongly promote the use of water-saving bathroom products. To enable these to be easily identified by specifiers, our packaging and literature are clearly labelled with Water Technology List and Bathroom Manufacturers Association Water Efficient Product branding
• Water-saving dualflush WCs are installed throughout our premises
