5 facts about poker chips:

1 - In the early days of poker, chips used to be made from ivory, bone, wood, paper, and clay. Some gamblers would even use gold nuggets in place of chips. 🪙

2 - Studies have found that casino chips carry more bacteria than a public toilet seat! When you Royal Flush, don't forget to Royal wash your hands! 💩

3 - In the late 1800s, the higher-value poker chips were blue. That's where the term "blue chip companies" originates from. 🏢

4 - Many casinos now use smart chips with embedded RFID trackers. These allow casinos to track each chip's movement, analyse player behaviour, and understand gaming patterns. 🧐

5 - Casinos regularly have their old poker chips shredded to remove them from circulation, preventing counterfeiting and fraud. 🚚💚💙

If you’re a medium-large business that sells or distributes clothes in EU countries, the destruction of certain garments will soon be banned.

For this reason, it’s more important than ever that you understand what’s happening when you entrust a company with your waste clothing.

A few red flags to look out for:

🚩 If a company tells you 100% of your clothes will be made into new clothes
🚩 If a company tells you your textiles are going to be made into sustainable concrete
🚩 Vague language around recycling or landfill comments.

A huge thank you and well done to our 'See It, Sort It, Report It' champions!

Mason, Reza, and Josh all helped to make their depots safer this quarter by proactively removing hazards and engaging with our hazard reporting programme.

By encouraging our teams to report hazards, no matter how small, we can build trends and identify areas to improve safety across the business.

Well done, guys! Keep those reports coming.

It's that time again! 🚛💚

Every year, we collate the previous year's emission data. Working with carbon assessment experts at Climate Impact Partners and Nature Positive, we'll soon have a full picture of our 2025 GHG emissions. But we can't (and don't) just throw caution to the wind, pollute everywhere, and then offset everything.

We work extremely hard to reduce our emissions across the business. As well as swapping our diesel-powered forklifts with electric models, we've invested heavily in solar, electric HGVs, low-emission trucks, and much more.

You can learn more about sustainability at Shred Station by visiting our website. We'll post more about 2025's greenhouse gas report as this year's assessment develops, and we thank our customers for their patience.
