At VPS, we take our environmental responsibilities very seriously and throughout our operations, we are committed to making sure all environmental issues have been considered.

Where possible we really endeavour to use materials that are fully recyclable, all our manufactured waste is disposed of responsibly, and making sure the recyclable loop is maintained.

To assist in recycling VPS frequently use battery manufacturers packing to package battery products.

VPS is committed to act responsibly in the use of natural resources through efficiencies in our manufacturing processes and we proactively work with our customers ensuring that they are kept up to date with environmental laws and restriction.
