BEING SUSTAINABLE WITH BAT UK’S GANTRY

BUILDING a sustainable gantry solution was key for BAT UK. The manufacturer’s latest solution takes environmental and societal factors into account and uses 100% recycled plastic. The gantry also uses a selection of wood and metal and is reduced in weight compared to its previous solutions.

Following the visit in Glasgow, six out of seven retailers joined BAT UK and Retail Express to visit this factory to see how each gantry is made and understand the structural integrity and quality.

The backlit lighting featured throughout is installed at the Zedis factory in Barce- lona using LED lighting. Retailers in attendance suggested putting the gantry on timers to make it easier for them to further reduce energy consumption. Based on this feedback, BAT UK and Zedis explained that a plug that runs on Wi-Fi can help monitor its overall usage.
