Environmental Policy
We’ve been working with our suppliers to reduce the use of plastics in our packaging, we use eco-friendly alternatives, and where possible make it easier for our customers to recycle.
Environmental issues are never straightforward. At Jackson’s – often with the help of our customers – we are constantly looking for the best practical and environmentally friendly options available.
If you have any ideas, solutions or suggestions we would love to hear them.
