Plant hire - just greener.
Whatever you think of them, green initiatives are coming. We don't think this means you have to lose money - actually we believer the opposite.
Green initiatives are coming
How it works
Simple for users, simple for merchants and simple for the environment.
Quick actions
This site will be updated regularly with new information and initiatives.
Our initiatives
Placeholder initiative pages for each theme. Use these cards as a starting UI scaffold.
Offset Carbon Emissions
Every booking is paired with local merchants where possible, helping reduce transport miles and associated emissions. If carbon taxes are introduced, you can claim the impact on your tax return.
- Local matching reduces average delivery distance.
- Offset calculation is tied to completed bookings.
- Capture consumer decisions real time to help local business.
Growing Natural Habitats
We partner with tree planting initiatives to grow England's natural habitats with every rental as well as ensuring farming land is conserved.
- Each rental contributes to habitat expansion efforts.
- Partners are selected for local suitability.
- Progress updates help you see real-world results.
Equipment Lifecycle
Extending equipment life reduces waste. We focus on maintenance programs that prevent premature replacement.
- Maintenance-first approach before replacement.
- Improved servicing schedules reduce scrappage.
- Lower waste supports a more circular supply chain.
Green Supplier Network
In an ever destablising world, green initiatives, if done appropriately can reduce costs and increase business resilience.
- Improving our own resilliance and helping the network grow stronger.
- Understanding the policy to help you make the right choices.
- Encouraging best-practice sharing across the merchant network.

FAQ
Some quick answers - feel free to email us if you have any questions.
Do these initiatives affect price?+
No. Our platform will show you the cheapest, the greenest and the highest trusted options - you choose the one that best suits your needs.
How do you calculate CO2 savings?+
Our software will track consumer decisions real time and us this to determine saved CO2e. We have aspirations of ensuring that merchants offering a cheaper rate but are not chosen purely for 'green' reasons are reimbursed.
Can merchants participate in the green supplier network?+
All merchants are automatically part of the network when they join the platform. Down the line we will push advice and support to help merchants reduce their emissions but more importantly their running costs.
Is this verified by third parties?+
Not yet - we're prioritising the platform's core functionality and expanding the network. However, we will be updating this site to show the impact of your choices. Check our facebook page for more regular updates.
