Examples include having both a general waste bin and cardboard recycling bin. There is a company-wide recognition of the negative environmental impacts from plastic bags (including landfill contribution and risk to marine life) and The Creative Locker has adjusted product packaging to decrease plastic usage. An example of this is products 101, 102, 103, 356 now have 40 units per 1 large poly bag (with a total 4 poly bags per carton \u2013 a significant reduction on a product range that was previously individually poly bagged). This polybag usage is expected to be further reduced or eradicated within The Creative Locker in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thecreativelocker.com\/promo\/wp-content\/uploads\/ModBiz_BlackProductTape_web.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4589\" src=\"https:\/\/thecreativelocker.com\/promo\/wp-content\/uploads\/ModBiz_BlackProductTape_web-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecreativelocker.com\/promo\/wp-content\/uploads\/ModBiz_BlackProductTape_web-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thecreativelocker.com\/promo\/wp-content\/uploads\/ModBiz_BlackProductTape_web-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thecreativelocker.com\/promo\/wp-content\/uploads\/ModBiz_BlackProductTape_web.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Product tape and stitch colour has been adjusted to the colour black only.
