Our philosophy

At the OTL Group we have some simple yet powerful values that we want to ensure is in every product we produce:

• All of our products must be as environmentally friendly as possible.

• Our products must be as effective as traditional chemicals, yet must be safe for both the user and the environment.

• Our products must be tested and accredited to the highest possible International Standards

• Being ‘green’ shouldn’t end with our products – it’s our way of life!

Our products

We do our very best to ensure our products:

• Are made from biological and biodegradable materials, wherever possible.

• Are not deemed to be hazardous to the environment.

• Do not use raw materials listed on the UK’s Health & Safety Executive EH40 (a list of chemicals which people should have limited exposure to).

Our building

In 2008 the OTL Group moved into its purpose-built manufacturing base and we worked hard to ensure that our new premises would be as environmentally friendly as possible:

• We use a purpose-built wood-pellet Biomass boiler, which heats all of our offices, water and some warehouse areas. 

• We use sustainable wood pellets from a source that is only 3 miles away from our factory.

• We use energy efficient lighting.

• We used the latest Thermal Insulation, Heating & Air Tightness technology to ensure that we would be below the EU Building Emission Rate (2008).
