Beaverswood® Officially Adopts Three Beavers!

by

 

Big news from Beaverswood® HQ: We’ve adopted a trio of beavers at Drusillas Park! Meet Jasper, Daggett, and Norbert — the newest (and furriest) members of our family. It’s safe to say Chipper is in his element and we’re absolutely buzzing about this beaver-y exciting development.

Why Adopt Beavers? 

As a company, Beaverswood® has always championed sustainability and environmental awareness. But let’s be honest — with a name like Beaverswood®, how could we not? Beavers are not only nature’s engineers, creating wetlands that improve biodiversity and reduce flooding, but they also reflect the industrious spirit behind our brand. Adopting Jasper, Daggett, and Norbert is our way of celebrating the synergy between our name and these incredible creatures while supporting their care and conservation.

Meet the Family:

These three are North American beavers, the second-largest rodents in the world (just behind capybaras, who share their enclosure!).

  • Jasper – The Dad: Jasper is the calm and steady leader of the family. He’s an expert dam builder, and you’ll often find him gnawing away at logs or supervising Daggett and Norbert.
  • Daggett – The Wild One: Full of energy and always up to mischief, Daggett’s the life of the pond. He’s usually the first to start a game of “who can slap their tail louder.”
  • Norbert – The Thinker: Norbert is a bit more laid-back, preferring to take his time when building dams or exploring his surroundings. He’s definitely the brains of the family.

Here’s a little video introduction to them!

Fun Facts About Beavers:

  1. Beavers’ teeth never stop growing! Their orange teeth are reinforced with iron, making them super strong and perfect for gnawing, they need to chew on wood to keep them at the right length.
  2. They can stay underwater for up to 15 minutes – talk about natural divers! Their transparent eyelids act like goggles while swimming.
  3. Their tails aren’t just for slapping – they also act as rudders for swimming, props for sitting and alarms when slapped on water to warn of danger.
  4. Beavers are nature’s engineers! Their dams can reach massive sizes - one in Alberta, Canada, is over 850 meters long!
  5. A group of beavers is called a “lodge,” which is also what they call their homes. It’s a beaver’s world; we’re just living in it!
  6. By building dams and ponds, they help improve water quality, reduce flooding, and provide habitats for other wildlife. Beavers are true ecosystem heroes.

How You Can Help Too 

Adopting animals is a fantastic way to contribute to wildlife conservation. If you’re inspired by Jasper, Daggett, and Norbert, consider visiting Drusillas Park or supporting similar programs. Together, we can make a difference for these incredible creatures.

Stay Tuned 

We’ll be sharing updates on our three beavers and their antics on our social channels. Keep an eye out for photos, videos, and perhaps even some dam-building tips straight from the masters themselves.

Here’s to our new Beaverswood® mascots! We can’t wait to see what they get up to next!

The New Waste Legislation Coming in March 2025: What You Need to Know

by

The growing environmental crisis has put immense pressure on governments to adopt more effective waste management strategies. Landfills are overflowing, ocean pollution is worsening, and greenhouse gas emissions from waste are contributing to climate change.

The new waste legislation - Simpler Recycling is set to be introduced in England on the 31st March 2025. It is aimed at significantly improving waste management practices and reducing environmental impact. This legislation will implement stricter measures across businesses, individuals, and municipalities to promote recycling, reduce landfill waste, and combat plastic pollution.

Key aspects of the legislation include:

  1. Mandatory Recycling for Businesses
  2. Extended Producer Responsibility
  3. Ban on Single-Use Plastics
  4. Increased Landfill Taxes
  5. Household Waste Separation

One of the most significant changes in the upcoming legislation is the introduction of mandatory recycling for all businesses. Businesses with 10 employees or more must separate glass, paper, metal, cardboard, plastic, and food waste. However, businesses with fewer than 10 employees have until the 31st March 2027 to comply.

While many companies already engage in recycling efforts, the new law will require businesses of all sizes to implement recycling programs for materials such as:

  • Mixed Dry Recycling: Glass, paper, metal, cardboard, plastic
  • Food Waste: Organic waste from food that needs to be collected separately
  • Black Bin Waste: Residual waste

This will reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and promote resource recovery.

Extended Producer Responsibility is a critical component of the new legislation. Under EPR, manufacturers will be held accountable for the entire lifecycle of their products. This means companies must design products with recyclability in mind, reduce packaging waste, and take responsibility for collecting and recycling their products after use.

Additionally, a ban on single-use plastics will prohibit items such as plastic bags, straws, utensils, and certain food packaging materials. Businesses will be required to transition to sustainable alternatives, such as biodegradable or reusable products.

Another major change is the introduction of higher landfill taxes to discourage landfill use and promote recycling and waste reduction. Both businesses and individuals will face increased costs for disposing of waste in landfills, making it more economical to adopt recycling or composting practices.

From 31st March 2026, the legislation will also require household waste separation, making it mandatory for residents to sort their waste into recyclables, organic waste, and residuals, with penalties for non-compliance. This comprehensive legislation aims to promote a circular economy, reduce waste, and contribute to the UK’s broader environmental sustainability goals.

Master your Maze with Beaverswood®

by

Ever tried navigating a warehouse that feels more like a maze?

One minute you’re confidently striding down aisle 3, and the next, you’re lost somewhere between the mystery boxes of who-knows-what and the ‘I’ll-find-it-later’ pallet pile. Even worse, all the signs around you have long since given up on being legible.

Not exactly the most efficient way to run a warehouse, right?

But what if we told you there’s a way to master that maze? At Beaverswood®, we’ve made it our mission to turn warehouse chaos into order, one clever little product at a time.

  1. Say Goodbye to Warehouse Woes
  2. Built to Last (And Last... And Last)
  3. Easy Installation for Immediate Impact
  4. New Essentials for Warehouse Mastery
  5. Safe, Sound, and Super Organised
  6. Conclusion - Ready to Master your Maze?

Say Goodbye to Warehouse Woes

Picture this: a warehouse where everything has its place, and you can find what you need without going on a wild goose chase. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

That’s the magic of a well-organised warehouse, and it’s exactly what our products help you achieve. We’ve got everything from labels to aisle and bay markers to weight load notices, numbers and letters, and even floor signal markers that will have your team navigating like pros.

No more squinting at faded signs or guessing which bay is which. Just clear, crisp, easy-to-read identification that makes getting around your warehouse a breeze.

Built to Last (And Last… And Last)

We know warehouses aren’t the most forgiving places. That’s why our products are made to handle whatever warehouse life throws at them. Forklifts, foot traffic, accidental bumps - our products are up for it all.

Easy Installation for Immediate Impact

We know you don’t have time to faff about with complicated installations. That’s why our products are as easy to install as they are to use. With Beaverswood®, you can go from box to fully organised warehouse in no time at all. Just pop them in place, and your maze is suddenly a whole lot easier to navigate.

And because our products are reusable, they’re ready to adapt as your warehouse evolves. Need to switch things up? No problem. Our solutions are as flexible as your operations demand, saving you time and money in the long run.

New Essentials for Warehouse Mastery

 At Beaverswood®, we’re always thinking of new ways to make your life easier.

Our self-adhesive angled ticket holders stick securely to flat surfaces, making it easier than ever to display information at just the right angle. No more craning your neck or struggling to scan labels - just clear, accessible info right where you need it.

Next, we’ve got the mini stock indicator wheels. Small but mighty, these wheels are perfect for tracking inventory levels at a glance. Whether you’re dealing with fast-moving stock or slow burners, these indicators give you an instant snapshot of what’s in stock and what needs reordering.

And let’s not forget our extra-large ticket holders for heavy-duty beams. With a larger front face, they offer plenty of space for information and stay put through thick and thin. If you’ve got serious stock, these ticket holders are seriously up to the task.

Safe, Sound, and Super Organised

Clear signage helps prevent accidents, keeps your team safe, and makes sure everything’s exactly where it should be. With our weight load notices, line marking tapes, and floor signs, you’ll be ticking all the boxes when it comes to health and safety regulations.
