Plastic Free July is a worldwide movement that brings together millions of people to be part of reducing plastic pollution.

Tackling plastic pollution is extremely important if we want cleaner streets, oceans, and communities. 🐟

Changes you can implement to cut down on your plastic use:

🌍 Re-use shopping bags.
🌍 Re-use water bottles.
🌍 Use a refillable coffee cup.
🌍 Switch to plastic free cosmetic products like bars of soap and shampoo.
🌍 Use refillable deodorant.
🌍 Switch to paper straws.
🌍 Switch to plastic free containers like glass or bamboo.
🌍 Chose clothing made from natural materials like organic cotton, linen, hemp, or bamboo. These fabrics are biodegradable.
🌍 Buy loose fruit and vegetables.
🌍 Buy pre-loved clothing, it’s a circular way to reduce waste and give clothes a second life.

What are you doing to reduce your plastic use?

Standby power has been estimated to account for up to 40% of a device’s total energy use. That’s 6,500 hours a year of wasted energy per device absorbing anywhere from 0.5 to 30 watts each. The power needed to keep a device on standby mode is surprisingly high. 📈

The same goes for your business! Where possible, make sure all computers, lights, machinery, and electricals are turned off completely when not in use.

The world-famous festival is leading the way to a greener future. Organisers said “sustainability has always been at the heart” of the festival. 💚

All production areas will either be powered by electricity from “fossil fuel-free sources” or will run on solar panels and battery hybrid systems.

Generators will run on fuel made from waste cooking oil and Arcadia’s giant fire-breathing spider will also run entirely off recycled biofuels.

Here at Utility Trade Group, we’re extremely proud to be a driving force to a greener future. Do you want to follow in Glastonbury’s footsteps and reduce your carbon footprint?

In 2025, the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is being switched off, which means everyone, from households to businesses, currently using PSTN-based services will need to move to another service before then.

Every phone line for UK businesses will move to a fully digital network that utilises voice over internet protocol technology (VoIP) operating over a fibre-based service.

Although the final switch off is planned for 2025, from September 2023, anyone using ISDN or PSTN services will not be able to add to, enhance, or change their current system.

Contact our experts now to get your business future-proofed and prepared!

We can all do something to help the environment!

Did you know, in partnership with Carbon Footprint Ltd we plant a tree for every Solar PV install we complete?🌳🌱

With our Solar PV solutions, we helped our customers generate their own green energy and avoid 271.5 tonnes of CO2 emissions entering the atmosphere in 2022 alone.

14,868 trees would be required to absorb this level of CO2 emissions! 💚

Join the Solar PV revolution today! Get in touch!

Can they reduce your energy consumption and save you money? 💸

The figures speak for themselves!

According to a study, smart meters have a larger impact on energy consumption than previously anticipated by the government, with reductions of 3.43% for electricity and 2.97% for gas.

To arrive at these findings, suppliers examined the energy consumption of customers with smart meters and compared it to that of traditional-meter users. The analysis focused on 12 months after the installation of smart meters, with a subset of suppliers also examining longer-term impacts.

With a smart meter you can wave goodbye to estimated billing.👋🏼
A smart meter shows a digital meter reading and uses a secure smart data network to automatically and wirelessly send the readings to your energy supplier, so you will receive accurate, not estimated bills.

Do you need to make the change to a smart meter?

“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.”

Here at Utility Trade Group, we’re passionate about sustainability and we are committed to creating a greener future for everyone. It’s one of our core values!

This year’s theme is #beatplasticpollution

Did you know more than 400 million tonnes of plastic is produced every year, half of which is designed to be used only once. Of that, less than 10 per cent is recycled. An estimated 19-23 million tonnes end up in lakes, rivers and seas?

Easy ways to reduce your plastic waste include:

♻ Separate your bins and have one for recyclable waste.
🍴 Don’t use plastic cups and cutlery.
🛍 Use biodegradable alternatives to plastic straws, bags etc.
☕ Buy plastic-free teabags.

We’re committed to reducing our customers Carbon Footprint and protecting the environment. 💚

Did you know that by switching your lighting to LED’s you could reduce your lighting costs by up to 80%. Most businesses see a ROI in 3 months!

What are the benefits of LEDs?

◻LEDs use less power. The technology is up to 50% more efficient than fluorescent, incandescent and HID lamps.

◻LEDs have a longer lifespan.

◻LEDs work exceptionally well in cold temperatures, this makes LEDs a perfect match for indoor cold storage lighting, unheated warehouses, and outdoor applications.

◻LEDs have better light quality. This can have a dramatic effect on the value and quality of the experience in a space and can improve the overall health of its tenants.

◻LEDs are environmentally friendly. They contain no toxic mercury or lead.

Do you want to switch to LEDs? Contact one of our experts today:

Choose Love! ❤

A month dedicated to the importance of educating others and supporting the LGBTQ+ community.

It’s powerful to reflect on the progress we have already made and to celebrate that, but we must also acknowledge that there is still work to be done.

#pride#pridemonth2023#chooselove#community#educating#lgbtq

It’s the last day of the month! If you don’t have a smart meter, don’t forget to send your supplier a meter read to ensure your billing is accurate.

It’s important to ensure your supplier is charging you for exactly what you use.

No one wants to pay more than they should be! 💸

📞 Fixed landlines, mobiles, and broadband are deep routed into our daily routines. It’s hard to remember a time when they didn’t exist! 📞

The industry is changing, and all businesses across the UK must follow the new changes.

The Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) will close in December 2025. BT will stop selling traditional phone lines in all exchange areas by September 2023.

Every phone line in the UK will have moved to a fully digital network that uses Internet Protocol (IP) across a fibre-based service. It may also mean you need to upgrade your broadband; the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) will also stop working.

Equipment that currently uses the PSTN will stop working:
Alarms
EPOS machines
Door entry systems
CCTV
Faxes

❗ To avoid being disrupted by the above, switch to Digital now. ❗
