Yo-Yo POD®

Sustainability

Better for People. Better for the Planet.

At Yo-Yo WORKS, we believe the future of work should support both people and the planet. That’s why every product we design is guided by three core commitments: globally recognised sustainability standards, full life-cycle responsibility, and a circular design philosophy.

Six ways we reduce our footprint

Solar energy on our warehouse

Our Coalville distribution warehouse is fitted with solar panels, reducing reliance on grid electricity and cutting the carbon intensity of every order we pick, pack and dispatch.

100% recyclable packaging

All Yo-Yo DESK® products ship in fully recyclable cardboard packaging. No styrofoam, no plastic void-fill, and packaging is kept to the minimum size that protects the product.

Sustainably Sourced, British Desktops

Our British-made desktops use responsibly sourced timber, combining durability with reduced environmental impact through local, sustainable manufacturing.

Paperless operations

All invoices, delivery notes and customer communications are issued digitally. We have eliminated paper-based invoicing from our standard order process.

Reducing unnecessary transport

Where local disposal of end-of-life or damaged goods is safe and practical, we encourage it to avoid needless return journeys and unnecessary emissions.

Waste reduction across operations

We audit waste streams and work with warehouse and logistics partners to reduce landfill output, increase recycling and identify packaging reuse opportunities.


Our warehouse runs on sunshine

The solar array installed at our Coalville distribution centre generates a significant proportion of the electricity used across our warehouse operations, including lighting, handling equipment, charging systems and office facilities.

By reducing our reliance on grid electricity, we lower the operational carbon footprint of every order we pick, pack and dispatch from the site.


Less paper. Less waste. Less carbon.

Small decisions compound. Here is what our operational choices translate to in practice.
