Transport

- monitor and review distances travelled and types of transport used to deliver constituent materials and deliver products
- promoting alternative delivery methods such as barge or rail wherever practicable and viable
- ensure delivery drivers have undertaken training in safe, fuel efficient and considerate driving
- minimise neighbourhood impacts by ensuring that any restrictions in vehicle movements are adhered to
- minimise impact by ensuring products are transferred in appropriate vehicles suitably packaged and secured
- consider the use of alternative fuels, fuel efficiency and safety standards when purchasing new equipment or vehicles
- dispose of vehicles responsibly at end of life.
