Drillcut and Sustainability

 

Recycling - True Circularity

  • Drillcut is a member of APCO. We support APCO’s 2025 National packaging targets (see below).
  • Drillcut has the scale and technical expertise to deploy advanced recycling technology and methodology.
  • All Drillcut products are de-packaged and loaded into cabinets.
  • All of our packaging is recycled or re-used. Any remaining packaging can be returned to Drillcut for recycling, which saves costs on waste disposal.
  • Drillcut Hire enables contractors to scale their tool fleet up and down as required. Drillcut Hire reduces waste and landfill, enables a shared economy, and strengthens local supply chains.
  • We provide an ideal ‘closed-loop’ solution for customers who want to reduce their carbon footprint.

  • 70% of plastic packaging being recycled or composted
  • 50%1 of average recycled content included in packaging (revised from 30%2 in 2020)
