Environmental Policy

Gladiator Foam Ltd Environmental Policy 2025-26

At Gladiator Foam, the original UK foam hand manufacturer and home of WavyHands.net, we recognise the importance of protecting our environment and operating responsibly. For nearly 40 years, we’ve been committed to producing high-quality promotional foam products while minimising our environmental impact.

♻️ Our Commitment

We take our environmental responsibilities seriously and continually seek to reduce waste, recycle materials, and work with suppliers who share our values. As a UK-based manufacturer, we are proud to keep our production local — reducing transport emissions and supporting sustainable practices within our supply chain.

🔄 Foam Recycling Partnership

Gladiator Foam has a special agreement in place with our raw material foam block supplier, who accepts back 100% of our unused off-cuts.

Because our factory is located close to the foam plant, we’re able to return these materials efficiently, ensuring that nothing goes to landfill.

These off-cuts are then recycled and repurposed into other foam-based products such as school gym mats and carpet underlay — giving our by-products a new life and reducing environmental waste.

🌍 Sustainable Operations

We continually review our manufacturing processes to:

• Reduce waste and energy use

• Source responsibly produced materials

• Encourage reuse and recycling throughout our operations

• Educate our team on sustainable practices

• Minimise our carbon footprint by maintaining a local supply chain

💚 Our Ongoing Promise

At Gladiator Foam, we believe that even small businesses can make a big difference. Our goal is to balance high-quality British manufacturing with genuine environmental responsibility.

We’re proud to produce fun, creative products that bring people together — while protecting the planet for generations to come.
