All of us depend heavily on the benefits from the environment and nature which influence every single aspect of our existence. Our forests, rivers, oceans, soils and animals are in desperate need of protection, however much of what comes from the environment, along with its chemical, biological & physical components are often taken for granted. We’re making waves in the steps to providing a more sustainable future. As a family business, we hope that our grandchildren and their children will take over the running of the company. As with many others, we are on a journey. We are proud of the achievements we have made, however with the start of a new decade, UniKitOut will take the opportunity to set ambitious targets for 2030.

UniKitOut are proud to have reduced our usage of single use plastic by 80% since 2019 alone. Our Kits are packaged with sustainability at the forefront of every decision, this will not only help reduce emissions of gases into our atmosphere, but it also means we won’t keep adding unnecessary rubbish to landfill.

In addition to our packaging and environmental efforts, We’ve also introduced Eco-friendly Cleaning Products, Toiletries, Organic Linen, Bamboo Bedding & our best-selling Eco Duvet and Pillows filled with 100% recycled plastic bottles to our product range. Our best-selling blankets are made from reclaimed mixed fabrics, the equivalent of 53 garments.

If bought separately on Amazon, a typical Uni Kit would be shipped in anything from 20-50 individual packages, using an enormous amount of cardboard and packaging. The very nature of our business concentrates on a consolidation of deliveries to your University wherever possible in one vehicle, whereas other parcels are shipped by our partners at DPD who have a huge focus on their green initiatives. We’ve also committed to the SME Climate Hub where we’ve dedicated additional resource to reduce & off-setting our emissions, pledging to reach net zero by 2050.
