From August keep an eye out for the hard-working Homersham reps out in their new vehicles. It's all part of the reduce, recycle, re-use ethos being practised at homershams.

After another great year, the Management team decided to both upgrade the vehicles and to go with a greener solution. Hence our reps will now be driving Hybrid Vehicles.

The hybrid engine, in this case the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) in the Camry Hybrid, is a fascinating technology and we felt it might be of interest to our customers/readers, to give a technical overview, as the instrumentation is quite wonderful.

We also wanted to ‘celebrate’ the small Eco choices we’re trying to make to encourage others. They’re small efforts, but as the mantra goes, “Think globally”, act locally” therefore we are endeavoring to Reduce, Recycle and Re-use".

1. Recycling our used dry-cell batteries (previously we were simply binning them)
2. Recycling our used toner cartridges (previously we were simply binning them)
3. Replacement of ink-jet printers with Laser (thanks Ricoh!) for less consumables
4. Responsible disposal of chemicals through respectable agents (prevention of environmental contamination)
5. Recycling all our scrap metals
6. New energy-star, high efficiency heat-pumps in our showroom and lab for reduced energy use (thanks HPAC!)
7. And of course the new Hybrid vehicles
