Want to know why BlackEye™ is a great choice for the environment?  Then read on...

Fully Recyclable Packaging

Black Eye™ manufacturer testing confirms that both the Black Eye™ box and its accompanying blister packs are fully recyclable. This significantly exceeds the European Union’s requirement of 65% recyclability, giving customers confidence in the product’s environmental credentials.  This switch to fully recyclable packaging was made in 2024 and since then, based on the UK Government’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting: Conversion Factors 2024 show we have saved a total of 1,363 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) to date. Additionally, the carbon footprint associated with each individual box has been reduced by 81.79%. This substantial improvement demonstrates how thoughtful material choices can provide meaningful environmental benefits without compromising product quality or safety. The outer transit box is made from lightweight, single-wall cardboard and is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), ensuring the materials used come from responsibly managed forests.


Space Saving Design

The compact design of Black Eye™ means it takes up very little space, whether stored individually or in larger quantities. Its flat-sided box fits neatly alongside other products, helping to streamline storage and therefore facilitate ordering multiple units which contribute to environmental savings by reducing the number of deliveries required. Fewer deliveries mean fewer transport emissions, helping to further lower the product’s overall carbon footprint.

Delivery

Omnimed use DPD as our courier who have shown a commitment into investing into greener technology for a cleaner and more sustainable future. At present, 95% of their heavy goods vehicle fleet runs on biofuels, significantly reducing emissions compared to standard diesel or petrol vehicles. Additionally, over 38% of their final delivery vehicles are electric. This figure has been increasing year on year as the company continues to invest in clean transport solutions. By choosing Black Eye™ from Omnimed, customers are supporting greener logistics and more sustainable last-mile delivery systems.
