Sustainability

Sustainability at the Heart of Our Online Shop

At ECB and Hy-Pro, we are committed to making sustainability a core part of our National Youth Programmes. By reducing waste, reusing materials, and continuously assessing our environmental impact, we aim to ensure cricket remains accessible while protecting the planet.

Our Initiatives

• Reusing and Extending Product Life: We encourage bat re-use schemes and offer accessories such as bat grips and stickers to extend the lifespan of plastic bats, helping to reduce unnecessary waste.

• Reducing Single-Use Plastics: Wherever possible, we replace plastic with paper-based or recyclable alternatives, cutting down on single-use plastics.

• Recyclable Packaging: The majority of our packaging is recyclable, reducing waste sent to landfill and promoting responsible disposal.

• Monitoring Carbon Footprint: Each year, we review and manage the carbon footprint to ensure we’re making meaningful progress in reducing our impact.

• Piloting New Initiatives: We explore innovative ways to extend the life of our products and minimise their environmental footprint.

How You Can Help Us

• Consolidate Orders: Combine purchases where possible to reduce the number of deliveries and lower emissions.

• Extend Product Life: Encourage reusing and repurposing equipment within your club or community to minimise waste.

• Recycle Responsibly: Dispose of packaging and end-of-life products using available recycling options.

• Spread the Word: Share ideas within your community on how to reuse and repurpose cricket equipment.

Together, we can make a significant difference. Thank you for supporting our mission to create a more sustainable future for cricket!
