Bond It, the manufacturer of sealants, adhesives, PU foams, waterproofing compounds and other building chemicals, has taken major steps to strengthen the environmental credentials of its products and working practices.
The business has installed 542, state-of-the-art solar panels on the roof of its West Yorkshire factory, which will meet a significant proportion of Bond It's energy needs across its head office administration, warehousing and production operations.

Bond It estimates that over the course of 20 years, the panels will reduce its carbon footprint by 1,171 tonnes.

Speaking of the £150,000-plus investment, operations director Graham Helm said: "We have for some time performed within our ISO14001 environmental accreditation, and the installation of the new solar panels will enhance these aspects and objectives further.

"The reduced environmental impact of our products and operations also ensures we are better placed to meet the needs of customers at a time when many of us are looking to make more sustainable product choices."
