Kattsafe

Sayfa is now Kattsafe

We’ve built a name for ourselves by continuously innovating safer, simpler height access and fall protection systems, and now it’s time for our business to evolve too.

Bringing everything we do under one new name makes it even simpler to work with us and use our products. And behind it all, we’re still the same team, quality products, and customer service that you’ve come to expect.

Kattsafe's sustainability and environmental awareness: making a difference to our world

Learn more about our efforts and how we're working to create a better future for all.

At Kattsafe, we believe in taking responsibility for our impact on the environment and making a positive difference in the world.

That's why we have developed a comprehensive sustainability and environmental plan that outlines our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, conserving resources, and promoting sustainable practices.

With the future always in mind every initiative we take is moving us one step closer towards our plan of attaining ISO14001 Accreditation in the coming years and helping to create a better earth.

Investing in renewable energy sources

As part of our sustainability plan, we have made a commitment to invest in renewable energy sources.

By reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint, but also supporting the growth of the renewable energy industry. We believe that investing in renewable energy is not only good for the environment it also makes good business sense in the long term.

We have seen substantial reductions in our energy consumption, saving over $51K, since the installation of solar panels in February 2021.

Reducing our carbon footprint

One of the key focuses of our sustainability plan is reducing our carbon footprint. We have implemented a number of initiatives to achieve this, including investing in renewable energy sources, such as the installation of solar panels, optimising our transportation and logistics to reduce emissions, and implementing energy-efficient practices in our facilities.

As often as possible, we strive to reduce emissions by grouping our consignments together, delivering larger loads to central areas across the country.

Additionally, we are also working towards creating, as much as is practicable, a paperless environment. By incorporating technology such as computers, laptops and tablets, and creating paperless processes, we feel we can substantially decrease the necessity for printing of paperwork in many instances.

By reducing our carbon footprint, we are not only helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change, but also demonstrating our commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices

Pallet return/recycle program

In 2022 Kattsafe introduced our timber pallet recycling program.

This initiative has been a great success and has added a further service to our customers by helping to reduce their waste and disposal costs, plus the expense and reliance on purchasing new timber products.

Additionally, when we receive packaged products from our local and overseas suppliers we endeavour to breakdown any of the leftover components, re-purposing them into Kattsafe pallets, chipping unused wood for mulching or sending scrap materials/metals to recycling companies.

Implementing sustainable practices in our supply chain

In addition to reducing our carbon footprint, we are also committed to implementing sustainable practices throughout our supply chain. This includes working with suppliers who share our values and commitment to sustainability, as well as implementing responsible sourcing practices to ensure that the materials and resources we use are ethically and sustainably sourced.

We are also working to minimise the environmental impact of our packaging and product design. Further to this, we are currently in talks with numerous companies looking to recycle our coloured plastics.

By taking a holistic approach to sustainability, we are working to make a positive difference both within our own operations and throughout our industry.

Raingarden and water tanks

During the most recent upgrade to our premises earlier this year, we installed a raingarden at the rear of the property.

Raingardens are increasing in popularity and their benefits to the environment are numerous, ranging from filtering pollution mixed in with stormwater runoff, to encouraging a habitat for wildlife such as butterflies, birds and other creatures.

We also installed water tanks which will be used to assist with water requirements for several points around the factory.

Reducing waste and promoting recycling

A key aspect of our sustainability plan is a comprehensive waste management system that includes reducing the amount of waste we produce, recycling as much as possible, and properly disposing of any remaining waste.

We encourage our employees to reduce waste in their daily activities, such as using reusable containers and cups instead of disposable ones, which not only helps the environment, but also saves money on waste disposal costs.

Aluminium is the material of choice for the majority of our systems which in itself provides environmental and sustainability advantages and is infinitely recyclable. Would you be surprised to learn that nearly 75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in use today?

We recycle as much of our aluminium as we can and have implemented into our internal production processes, alerts which ensure that minimum waste occurs when cutting and that any usable offcuts are utilised and put back into the manufacture of our products.
