Sustainability

We are proud to encourage sustainable practices within our business to ensure Hoselink is part of cultivating a better world for all.

With every product we manufacture and ship, sustainability is our top priority

Sustainability is an ongoing journey for our team. We’re always pushing to do better for the planet and reduce our environmental footprint. Over the years, we have made significant strides to improve our sustainability efforts, and constantly review the lifecycle of our products and packaging to see how we can continue to do better.

Our Progress

The very first Hoselink connectors were designed as a durable, lasting product to reduce water waste. More than two decades later, sustainability and environmental stewardship are still at the heart of our products -- and our business.

In the past few years, we achieved some ambitious environmental goals for Hoselink.

Since 2019, we have:

Reduced our use of bubble wrap in product packaging by more than 1600 yards
Reduced the size of our Hose Reel Boxes
Re-evaluated our product packaging, eliminating more than 175,000 poly bags
Introduced an eco-friendly Solar Light collection
Replaced plastic mailers with biodegradable alternatives for shipping
Formed a Sustainability Committee to continuously review our efforts and set new initiatives
