Environmental Policy
Buy As You View have recently made siginificant efforts to reduce our Carbon footprint, keeping in line with the government's policy.
We are in the process of switching our fleet of 600 company cars to the environmentally friendly Corsa Eco to help us reduce our Carbon footprint.
We have also invested £90,000 in a special route planning system designed by Paragon to provide our customers with a greener home delivery service.
Without the support of the communities we serve, Buy As You View would not be the success we are today. We strongly believe that it is our duty to do what we can for the local communities we serve. We therefore aim to reduce our Carbon footprint in these communities.
Packaging Waste Regulations
In accordance with regulations, our Platinum delivery and installation service includes the removal and disposal of the packaging in a environmentally friendly way.
We invest £28,000 each year to lease specialist equipment to help recycle 80% of our packaging. This would otherwise go to landfill.
We will of course leave the product packaged should the customer require it, but we ask that they dispose of the packaging responsibly when the time comes, recognising their own Carbon footprint and their local authority's recycling requirements.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive
Buy As You View complies with all environmental legislation relating to the disposal of waste, electrical and electronic equipment. Customers can either use local council operated collection sites or BAYV will collect your old electrical item when delivering a like for like new electrical product.
