At RAILBLAZA, our passion for adventure goes hand in hand with our commitment to environmental responsibility. We're all about making sustainable choices that allow us to explore Canada’s stunning landscapes while preserving them for future generations. That’s why we’ve embedded the Three R’s Waste Hierarchy—Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle—into the heart of our product design process.
We strive to minimize the materials we use, focusing on creating products that are both durable and efficient. By designing spare parts that are easy to replace, we ensure our products can be reused over a long period of time. Our materials are selected for their resilience to withstand even the harshest of Canadian environments and are crafted with recyclability in mind, completing the sustainable cycle.
Our commitment to reuse extends beyond product longevity. We've swapped out plastic blister packaging for eco-friendly cards made from wood fiber sourced from renewable forestry. This change alone results in over 60,000 fewer packs of plastic waste each year—keeping our wilderness pristine and beautiful.
In 2018, we took a bold step towards sustainability by investing in in-line recycling at our plastic molding plant. Since then, we’ve recycled around 10 tons of plastic per year, reducing waste and making our production process more efficient. This initiative not only helps the environment but also reflects our commitment to continuous improvement.
Our manufacturing facility is situated in New Zealand - a country with one of the cleanest environments on Earth- and take it upon ourselves to ensure that remains unchanged by taking drastic measures towards sustainability within all aspects of design. From material selection through design process to product packaging, every effort is taken at RAILBLAZA so minimal impact is made onto nature's balance. New Zealand also prides itself on our renewable energy production, with over 80% of our electricty generated from renewable sources like hydro and geothermal.
Sustainability is a priority when it comes to designing products. We choose plastics that minimize the use of “chemicals of high concern” during production and ensure in-line recycling technology reduces waste. Co-molding processes are avoided as much as possible because these complicate post consumer recycling efforts. Furthermore, we readily provide information about product compositions for transparency purposes which sometimes raises costs but always supports ecological objectives first.
At RAILBLAZA, we know that effective packaging is crucial for reducing costs and environmental waste. That's why we prioritize using cardboard over plastics during the design phase whenever possible. Our innovative approach to recycling cable ties has allowed us to transform offcuts into usable materials with a simple process shift, cutting down on landfill waste and showing that small changes can make a big impact!
Reusing materials is more than just a practice; it's part of who we are at RAILBLAZA. Our team leads by example, bringing plastic containers from home to be reused, and inspiring others to do the same. Even our suppliers have joined our mission, working alongside us to create a more sustainable future. By joining forces, we prove that small steps lead to big changes—together, we can create a ripple effect of positive impact.
We're grateful to have you on this mission with us as we journey toward continuous improvement. By choosing our products, you're not just gearing up for your next adventure; you're creating lasting value that benefits us all.
Thank you for being part of this sustainable adventure!
