Environmental Policy 

      

Our Product

• All our products are certified non-toxic, which means they do not contain phthalates, lead or cadmium.
• All solid wood sourced for our ranges is from sustainably managed forests and plantations.
• All composite wood such as plywood and MDF, is certified formaldehyde free.
• We use water based non-toxic paints and stains.
• The majority of our leaflets and guides are printed with soy ink which is biodegradable and makes paper recycling more efficient.
• All our products are tested to the latest UK, European and International standards for consumer products and toy safety.

 
Our Packaging

• We are working towards using recyclable packaging for all tickit^®  products and the elimination of single use plastics. 
• Where possible, our tickit^®  boxes are glue-free, making them easier to fully recycle.
• Our tickit^®  product boxes and our warehouse cardboard packing boxes are made from at least 75% recycled material.
• Our wooden shipping pallets are reusable and when they do reach the end of their lives, can be turned into wood chip.

Our Head Office & Warehouse

At our Commotion HQ, we have installed solar panels on our warehouse roof, which means we rely less on fossil fuels for our energy. We choose to source our electricity and gas from suppliers committed to switching to a lower carbon economy, through the use of sustainable energy sources such as tidal, wave and wind power.  All cardboard and paper generated is sent for recycling and we are investigating how the plastic we use can be recycled.

FSC^® Certification

Commotion is proud to be FSC-certified. The Forest Stewardship Council is an international non-governmental organization that promotes environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests.

All FSC-certified wood products in our distribution range will carry a demonstrated chain of custody, proving the wood comes from responsibly managed forests and harvested to benefit communities, wildlife and the environment. This includes key lines from our distribution range of VIGA products, and we are in the process of moving our tickit^®  brand product lines to FSC-certified wood.
