SUSTAINABILITY

Our eggs are green, but not literally

Since the start of 2020, we’ve implemented over £1 million worth of sustainability measures across our production and packaging sites. Through solar panel installation, and internal and external PIR motion detecting LED lighting systems, the facility has reduced its energy consumption by 66%. We also have an ongoing shift towards using lower emissions vehicles, as well as cutting edge software planning programme’s to ensure delivery routes reduce travel times, mileage and therefore carbon emissions.

Our commitment to sustainability also extends to packaging, which wherever possible is made of wood pulp or RPET recycled plastic and secured with a recyclable paper based tape seal. Our free-range laying sites are also home to beehives, native tree species and wildflower meadows to support biodiversity and we continue to develop these sites as the area around the range’s mature.

As a well-established UK producer and packer of eggs, and one that has been trading for over 55 years, we wouldn’t be where we are today without evolving to the needs of our customers and the broader world that we’re part of. UK farming in general has made huge strides on sustainability during the past decade, and we’re proud to be a part of an industry acting on several fronts, from reducing our energy consumption, to wildlife preservation and biodiversity improvements.

No half measures when birdbros go to work on an egg

These are just some of the recent changes we’ve actioned since 2020, but we nurture an environment here at birdbros, where our people are encouraged to offer new ideas where future improvements can be made. Through increased investment in advanced machinery, robotics and IT, we aim to maintain our place at the forefront of modern and sustainable egg farming.
