Sustainability at Photobox

We’re building a greener Photobox – from the materials we use, to the factories we print in. Here's a closer look at the steps we're taking to minimise our environmental impact.

Our three key focuses (for now)

Our planet

Step by step, we're working towards a better planet. We rely on our materials to bring your moments to life, so we're working hard to strike a balance to become more sustainable.

Our society

Building stronger communites together for our future. You are the storytellers making those moments, so we want to brighten the world for yourselves, our teams and the wider community. We take pride in bringing people joy, and that's why we're passionate about speaking out in support of each other and doing our bit for the local community.

Our people

Driving growth, culture and success for everyone. In our team, everyone brings something unique and different. We enjoy celebrating our individuality and diversity and we believe this helps us move forward as a company.

A look at what we've already done

We use 100% renewable energy

All of our factories run with 100% renewable energy. That means energy collected from renewable resources that are naturally replenished (on a human timescale), like wind, sunlight, and waves. It does other good stuff too, like reducing air pollution and diversifying energy supply, and it means we're less dependent on importing fuel.

We've cut down on plastic

Packaging is a biggie for us (because we send a lot of orders to customers daily). Since 2019, we've removed 48.6 tonnes of plastic from our packaging. Unsure what that really means? Well, it's equivalent to 1 million plastic bottles and the weight of 7 fully grown elephants. We're still working on ways to reduce our plastic waste across all of our operations.

We're working on Zero Waste to Landfill

Zero Waste to Landfill is as literal as it sounds – no waste is sent to landfill. That's something we've already achieved at two of our factories. As for the rest, we're making sure as much waste as possible is reused, recycled, or recovered.

We create products made to last

Photo books, prints, coasters – the photo products we create are of premium quality, so that they're sure to last a lifetime. Keeping something forever means keeping it out of landfill, so you can always expect that level of quality from us.

What's next?

Zero Waste to Landfill across all of our operations by the end of 2022.

Reduce C02 emisisons by 5% by 2023. We're working with "#51 to Carbon Zero" to better understand our carbon footprint, deliver carbon reduction plans, and transition to carbon-zero printing.

Remove all single use plastics in packaging, across all operations, by the end of 2023.
