Environmental Impact
At 1env, minimising environmental impact is built into how we design, make and deliver.
As one of Europe’s leading manufacturers and distributors of pest control products, we take our responsibilities seriously. We’re reducing waste, sourcing locally where possible, and investing in processes that lower our carbon footprint—so you can be confident your supply partner is safeguarding you, the industry and the environment.
In‑house manufacturing of rodent bait stations
We’re the only distributor in Europe manufacturing our own boxes on site. Producing locally means fewer overseas shipments and less transport-related carbon.
Turning high‑grade automotive plastics into long‑life products
Wherever possible, we use recycled plastic to produce our bait stations and other moulded items. We re‑process and re‑grind plastics—such as bumpers and dashboards—renowned for durability, and give them a second life in robust, weather‑resistant boxes.

CO₂ saved from manufacturing alone
113,000+ miles
Driving equivalent (lorry) avoided
Each kilogram of recycled plastic saves approximately 0.79 kg of CO₂ in manufacturing emissions.
By product carton
- 100 Mouse Boxes (5.7 kg): save ~4.5 kg CO₂
- 50 Insect Monitors (1.8 kg): save ~1.42 kg CO₂
- 10 Bullet Boxes (3.02 kg): save ~2.39 kg CO₂
- 10 Vanguard Boxes (6.84 kg): save ~5.4 kg CO₂
Example annual saving
Using 100 mouse boxes, 50 insect monitors and 20 Vanguard rat boxes each month results in ~200.6 kg CO₂ saved per year—about one‑fifth of a tonne (roughly a Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost driven ~1,250 miles).
What else we’re doing
UK‑sourced products
We work closely with UK suppliers to source high‑quality products, supporting local trade and reducing the carbon impact of long‑distance imports.
Recycled packing boxes
Our shipping cartons are 80% recycled and 100% recyclable, balancing sustainability with durability for thousands of monthly dispatches.
Biodegradable packing bags
We’ve reduced disposable plastics by switching to biodegradable product‑protection bags.
Packaging changes
To cut plastic waste and boost availability, most rodenticide baits now ship in 5 kg tubs and/or 10 kg boxes.
Digital paperwork
We encourage digital delivery for delivery notes, invoices and statements. Paper copies use recycled paper only.
LED lighting
Our warehouse and offices run on ultra‑efficient LED lighting, using ~75% less energy than conventional lighting.
Local courier, lower footprint: for deliveries within ~80 miles, we use a local courier operating ULEVs, avoiding national hubs and extra transport emissions.
