Ergonomic Equipment & Supplies

AT BAD BACKS WE TAKE OUR ON-GOING RESPONSIBILITY SERIOUSLY, BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY AND CONDUCT BUSINESS IN A WAY THAT ACTIVELY ASSISTS IN PRESERVING OUR ENVIRONMENT.

As a business involved in manufacturing, importing, wholesaling, e-tailing and retailing, we promote a strong environmental ethic as part of our corporate culture by encouraging, empowering and assisting employees, manufacturers, suppliers and customers to engage in activities and programs to reduce our eco footprint.

OUR ONGOING EFFORTS INCLUDE:

Transport

Limit travel where possible.

Utilise electronic media for communication.

Endeavouring to work with logistics and transport companies including air, sea, rail and road, that are committed to ongoing sustainable environmental management.

INITIATIVES TO INCLUDE:

Leading edge vehicle emission standards.

Investment in fuel efficiency and alternative fuel technologies.

Supply chain efficiency.

Office, warehouse and retail practices.

RECYCLING

We are focussed on being paperless, however if printing is required we purchase recycled paper. All packaging and pallets, for despatching Bad Backs online and in-store products, utilise suppliers whom actively engage in degradable/recyclable plastics, wood and paper products. Where possible, we recycle all office supplies including paper, toners and cartridges. All other redundant office & warehouse supplies are sent to respective local Council Waste Management Depots.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

We seek to minimise energy consumption; this includes minimising waste, reduce our consumption of resources and improving efficiency of their use (turning off power and equipment when not in use) and supporting local supplies where possible e.g. back and joint pain product suppliers.

IMPORTED & LOCALLY MANUFACTURED GOODS

Every year we see continued improvement in eco friendly manufacturing processes, product made from degradable and recycled materials, sustainable fabrics, higher percentage of recyclable components, international GREEN GUARD Certification and Australian GECA approvals. And we will continue to engage with them to develop improved environmental sustainable practices.

OUR CUSTOMERS

For our customers who are replacing products such as bedding and furniture, we will endeavour to link them to recycling resources Australia wide.

THE FUTURE

Our environmental responsibility is an ongoing journey as we continue to look for new ways of improvement.

CORPORATE RECYCLING

We all have a responsibility to avoid landfill and dispose of office furniture and equipment appropriately. Often the challenge is the time and effort required for organisations to do it, as they may not know where to start. If you are looking to replace office furniture, let Bad Backs help you with some great new products, and recommend how to dispose of your old furniture, as required. Please find below an online resource to assist you with identifying the types of furniture and equipment for recycling, and then recycle it.

Fill in the materials you wish to dispose of, your Suburb and State, and then search for a service; a variety of drop off, or pick up options will appear. Choose the one that best suits you and say goodbye to your old furniture and hello to an ergonomically comfortable workspace.
