Kremer Signs are the largest producer of estate agents boards in the UK, producing almost 1,000,000 boards each year. After many years of development work with our key material suppliers, we now have a tried and tested Fluted board that is not only made from recycled plastic, but a board that after many uses can be returned to us for recycling. We believe in a greener future, and this is why we have introduced our new brand, Eco Boards!

• We have almost zero waste when our sheet is manufactured with all off cuts being reprocessed.
• When our boards are recycled, the higher-grade pellets are used to produce our recycled sheet. Lower grade pellets are used to make items such as garden planters and furniture, compost bins and vehicle parts including car bumpers. It is also used to manufacture the dreaded speed bumps.
• During the recycling process, the PP granules are re-heated to 400 degrees, unlike other plastics PP does not give off toxic gases during the process.
• It is accepted that polypropylene can be recycled up to 4 times before there is a negative impact on the materials structure.

Kremer Signs are now Carbon Neutral!

As part of our environmental pledge we have now become carbon neutral with Carbon Neutral Britain™

Our chosen project to offset our emissions against is their Yorkshire Woodland Management Project

In this project, one of the major objectives of the Dales Woodland Strategy is the creation of new native woodland in the Yorkshire Dales. Currently, only 2.5% of the National Park is covered with native broadleaf trees compared with the national average of 8%. The long term aim is to almost double the amount of broadleaf cover in the National Park to 5000 hectares by 2022.

With this new partnership, we will also be planting an extra tree for every new customer. This is an exciting project that we are proud to be apart of, and a fantastic additional incentive for agents to join the green team!

As a signage company we know we have a serious responsibility to the environment to ensure our industry’s future and we are continuously working on ways to reduce our impact of plastic waste and operating more sustainably. We believe in a greener future!

We are the only national board supplier, printing on recycled material with its unique grey back and are the only company that offer a national recycling service free of charge (T&C’s apply). This is a service that we offer to all of our clients; if we are delivering boards on our own transport, we will collect any waste boards from your board erector during the delivery, to ensure the end of life boards avoid landfill.

As of 2021 ALL of our customers will be switched to this eco-friendly correx as standard, which is going to be a game changer for the industry. Our aim is to gain as much business as possible, producing UK estate agents boards more sustainably, so that the industry’s carbon footprint is reduced on a national scale. Our pledge to the environment goes back a long way and has been reviewed annually for many years.

As well as improving our own products and practices, we will encourage board erectors and other industry suppliers to minimise their negative impact on the environment.

We hope this will result in a huge improvement with the property sector’s environmental efforts.

• In the past 5 years, Kremer Signs have produced 3,500,000 signs using recycled materials.
• In the same period, Kremer Signs have collected 1,600,000 ‘End of life’ signs for recycling.
• In the last 5 years we have supplied in excess of 2,700,000 White and coloured posts, all of which are sourced from FSC approved renewable forests.
• In the next 5 years we will supply in excess of 5,000,000 Boards to the property sector, all of which will be printed on our Unique Eco Board.

International Beach Clean Day

In conjunction with the Marine Conservation Society and as part of Kremer Signs ongoing environmental efforts as a company, we volunteer every year to carry out a beach clean, as part of International Beach Clean Day, which is usually held in September.

These pictures are from our chosen beach in 2020, Meon Beach in Fareham, Hampshire. When possible, we choose a different beach every year, to help in the worst affected areas.

We use our brand name and social media platforms to help raise awareness of these issues and the opportunities we all have to volunteer. This all helps towards a future with cleaner oceans.
