Royal Mail Halves Domestic Flights to Cut GHG Emissions

It is also re-designing its operations and network to focus on parcels, improving energy efficiency and using low-carbon transport modes.

Royal Mail has deployed biofuels for its heavy goods vehicles in the form of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil that cuts emissions by up to 90%.

Biofuels helped the company cut back on more than two million litres of diesel last year.

The company has also successfully reduced waste by an estimated 2,000 tonnes per year through the introduction of reusable trolley sleeves.

Trolley sleeves are used to stop items falling from trollies, and were previously made from single use cardboard.

The new sleeves are made from recyclable corrugated plastic, helping the company reach its waste target seven years ahead of schedule.
