Product and Packaging
The JCC Design & Development team strives to produce products that are designed for the contractor, ensuring installation is fast and simple, whilst providing a broad range to suit the majority of requirements. In addition, all new products in development are accessed to ensure they support our sustainability initiative.
- Implementing circular economy ideology into product design to ensure repairs and replacements are sustainable
- Ongoing reduction of non-recyclable packaging
- Converting emergency batteries from NICD & NIMH to Lithium which are more environmentally friendly and easier to recycle
Sustainable facilities
2022 saw JCC's move to Lux Park, our 86,000+ square foot distribution center in Chichester, on the doorstop of the South Downs National Park. Lux Park not only provides logistical benefits, but also provides a platform to enhance our sustainability practices. Part of this initiative includes the installation of solar panels covering the roof of Lux Park and the adoption of hybrid electric company vehicles and charging points to help reduce our energy consumption from fossil fuels
