Aztec Diamond Equestrian - Small Ripples Make Big Waves

Every one of us has an ecological footprint and businesses are no different. Aztec Diamond is on a mission to reduce its footprint by switching from plastic mailing bags to biodegradable polythene ones.

Traditional plastics tend to require a lot more energy in terms of production as well as more burning of fossil fuels. In turn, the switch to bioplastics will reduce the amount of pollution in the environment. Biodegradable plastic releases significantly smaller doses of carbon emissions during the manufacturing process and does not involve using any fossil fuels, meaning the process consumes significantly less energy than traditional plastics.

Not only do bioplastic bags take a lot less time to break down when disposed, they can also be easily recycled. Aztec Diamond’s mailing bags are also non-toxic, which means they contain less harmful chemicals- especially if they are burnt.

This is the first step of many conscious decisions Aztec Diamond plans to make in the future, with its ultimate aim to become a more environmentally friendly company all round. As a business it will be taking a look at its footprint and making as many changes as possible along the way in order to make a difference - after all small ripples make big waves.
