Recycling magazine issues

Ideally, you would pass it on the magazine to a friend or a community place which might enjoy it (doctor or dentist surgery, community centre etc), but you can also rest assured that your issue can be recycled in its entirety*. *Caveat: on the rare occasion magazine features a gatefold advertisement (where the cover or an inside page opens to reveal an additional page that folds out), it uses laminate which renders the cover paper on those issues unrecyclable, so we suggest removing the cover and recycling the rest.

Compostable magazine bags

When two or more copies of the magazines come bagged together, the bagging material is made entirely from 100 per cent compostable material sourced from potato starch. It can be disposed of in a compost heap, your garden waste bin or your food waste bin – why not use it as a liner? Please do NOT put it in your recycling bin.

Recycled packaging waste

All packaging waste, inc. paper, plastic, metal and pallet waste is recycled at Gibbons. Anything they cannot recycle themselves is sent to Veolia, a waste management scheme who will recycle what they can and then burn the rest turning it into energy.

Certified paper materials

The majority of our paper used in the magazines is UPM Star Gloss, which is sustainably sourced and manufactured, with EU Ecolabel certification and FSC® and PEFC™ chain of custody certification. The cover paper uses Condat Gloss which is FSC® certified (the mark of responsible forestry).

Buy less, buy better

‘Buy less, buy better’ is baked into our approach to shopping, all with the four ‘R’s’ of reduce, reuse, repurpose and then recycle. With the latest styles hitting and falling off the shelves in record time, it becomes easy to get swept away by trends and fall into waste-led, fast fashion practices.

Sustainability-focused guides

Through expert-written guides and ‘nudge’ tactics, across our content pillars, we aim to provide our audience with information on how to buy better, travel better, look after yourself better, eat and drink better – doing good for yourself and the environment, all without being too prescriptive or hectoring.

Renewable electricity switch

The members’ club switched to 100 percent renewable electricity in 2022 and has set up further ambitious climate targets such as reducing gas usage by 10 percent and reducing electricity usage by 10 percent year on year to achieve net zero.

Butterfly Mark certification

The Home House Collection has become the first private members club group to be awarded the Butterfly Mark certification. To achieve the Butterfly Mark certification, companies must achieve set standards in each area of assessment: Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG).
