The core goal of Glasdon is to provide quality products which improve public spaces, enhance water and road safety and protect the environment. The products help communities, businesses, schools and our other customers to practice sustainability.
Where possible, Glasdon products are manufactured using recycled and recyclable materials. Continual research into new sustainable technologies and manufacturing processes allow the Company to achieve this.
The recycled content in our products vary dependant on material type and colour choice. For example, Timberpol® Material contains a minimum of 70% recycled hardwood sawdust, whereas most of our products manufactured from Enviropol® Material consist of 100% recycled plastic including post-consumer polyethylene and polypropylene.
Environmental sustainability is a key priority throughout our supply chain. We endeavour to work with suppliers who are committed to minimising their carbon footprint and have a focus on maintaining clear environmental, social and governance principles. We emphasise the importance of purchasing goods which have minimal impact on natural resources and avoid exploitation of individuals, communities and organisations.
Where materials and components are sourced from our suppliers, we focus on those that feature recycled and recyclable content and are made from renewable resources. Conservation of water and non-renewable sources, as well as the use of non-toxic chemicals are also key considerations.

Our product manufacturing process is overseen by a team of dedicated specialists who aim to put our products together in the most efficient and sustainable way possible. We work quickly and effectively to a high standard, ensuring that we achieve exceptional quality standards with minimal cost to the environment.
We strive to ensure our products will withstand the test of time, offering not only longevity and value for money, but a reduction in the need to frequently replace end-of-life products.
Rigorous testing and quality assurance control throughout the product manufacturing process ensures we maintain optimal performance standards for all of our products. Properties such as vandal and weather resistance and low maintenance designs allow these products to fulfil their long service life in any conditions. This not only saves costs for our customers long term, but it also benefits the environment by reducing the frequency of products being sent to landfill or for re-processing.

Glasdon invest in product innovation for the future. When designing new products, sustainability is considered a top priority throughout the product lifecycle. We aim to produce products which not only increase safety and quality for users, but also help to improve the environmental impact of our customers.
