GP's Reduce Your Footprint campaign – get involved!



Global warming, overpopulation, deforestation, pollution… there’s no hiding from the fact we humans are hurting our planet. Every action, every decision we make has an impact, which is why we all need to take steps to make sure our lifestyles are as sustainable as possible.

When it comes to protecting the planet and reducing our carbon footprint, little changes make a huge difference. Just imagine the impact if every single person made a small, but positive change to the way they live?

Reduce Your Footprint TODAY

If you know GP, you’ll know we’re serious about protecting the environment. This is exactly why we’ve launched the Reduce Your Footprint campaign, which is based on three main principles:

     Reduce. The less you use and throw away, the more you’ll reduce personal waste and waste sent to landfill.
     Recycle. From batteries and clothes, to cardboard boxes and yoghurt pots, there are so many household items that can be recycled.
     Recharge. Save money and reduce your footprint by making the switch from single use to rechargeable batteries.

Our mission is simple: we want everyone to reduce, recycle and recharge. Because by doing so, we can dramatically decrease our footprint and leave behind a better world for future generations.

We’re calling on consumers and retailers to pledge their support for the environment, and their dedication to minimising their carbon footprint. So, what are you waiting for? Pledge your support, spread the word, and encourage and inspire others to protect the planet by making greener choices.

What are those ‘greener’ choices?


 Reducing your footprint doesn’t require a drastic overhaul of your life. Here are just a few of the many ways you can be greener…

     At home – Insulating your loft to preserve energy, turning appliances off rather than leaving them on standby, switching to a Clean Energy tariff, recycling all items that can be recycled, using low-energy light bulbs.
     On the road – Car sharing for work, driving an electric or hybrid car, choosing a car that offers good miles per gallon, riding a bike or walking rather than driving.
     Out shopping – Buying local to reduce transportation costs, picking your own fruit, buying second hand, buying products with minimal – or no – packaging.
     Reducing waste – Ditching plastic straws, using a refillable water bottle, shopping with bags for life, recycling properly by putting items in the right bins.

Recharge with GP


Now, you might be wondering what GP is doing to protect the planet. Well, we’re the world’s largest manufacturer of rechargeable batteries, meaning we’re helping both retailers and consumers make more eco-friendly choices.

We also produce a range of chargers and PowerBanks for our batteries, like the 2-in-1 GP Charge AnyWay. The Charge AnyWay comes with a pack of our lithium-free ReCyko+ Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries, which means that when you’re flying, you can travel with it in your holdall and carry-on luggage.

When we’re not busy selling rechargeable batteries, we’re busy promoting the importance of recycling disposable ones – to help cut the astonishing 600 million that end up in UK landfill every single year.

Feel good that you’re doing your bit to protect the environment and reduce your footprint – pledgeto reuse, recycle and recharge today.
