Striving For Sustainable Solutions
How LapSafe® Supports Environmental Responsibility Through Innovation
Sustainability is about more than reducing environmental impact. It is about designing products that last, using resources responsibly, supporting communities, and operating to recognised standards that customers can trust.
At LapSafe®, sustainability has always been a key consideration in how we design, manufacture and support our products. As organisations face increasing pressure to reduce their environmental impact and demonstrate social value, we remain committed to delivering solutions that support both operational and sustainability goals.
A Commitment to Quality and Environmental Responsibility
LapSafe® operates in accordance with internationally recognised management standards that help ensure quality, consistency, and environmental responsibility throughout our business.
We are certified to ISO 9001:2015, demonstrating our commitment to maintaining effective quality management systems and continually improving our products, services, and customer experience.
We also operate to ISO 14001:2015, the internationally recognised environmental management standard. This framework helps organisations identify, manage, and reduce their environmental impact through responsible resource management, efficient processes, and continual improvement.
Together, these standards provide customers with confidence that quality, sustainability, and responsible business practices are embedded throughout our operations.
Sustainable Products Designed to Last
One of the most effective ways to reduce environmental impact is to invest in products that have a long operational lifespan.
Our flagship Mentor® storage and charging trolleys are manufactured using recycled steel and engineered for durability. Rather than replacing an entire trolley when technology changes, customers can often upgrade existing units to accommodate new devices, extending product life and reducing waste.
In fact, we continue to support and upgrade trolley installations that were originally supplied more than twenty years ago.
PETROC College highlighted the long-term value and reusability of Mentor® trolleys after a decade of service, demonstrating how thoughtful design can support sustainability goals while protecting investment.

Intelligent Charging for Reduced Energy Consumption
Energy efficiency is another important part of reducing environmental impact.
Many LapSafe® storage and charging solutions feature our patented SmartLine™ with PowaSave™ charging technology, which automatically switches off power when devices are fully charged.
By eliminating unnecessary power consumption, organisations can reduce energy usage, lower operating costs, and contribute towards their own sustainability objectives.
Using Data to Drive More Sustainable Decisions
Sustainability is increasingly driven by visibility and insight. To reduce waste, improve efficiency, and maximise existing resources, organisations need access to meaningful data that supports informed decision-making.
This is where ONARKEN® enhances the sustainability benefits of LapSafe® solutions.
Developed following years of customer feedback, ONARKEN® provides organisations with powerful asset management and reporting capabilities through an innovative Smart Locker platform. By delivering real-time visibility of device usage, organisations gain a clearer understanding of how assets are being used across departments, locations, and teams.
This level of insight can help organisations:
Identify underutilised devices and improve asset allocation
Reduce unnecessary equipment purchases
Minimise electronic waste
Optimise charging and energy consumption
Support carbon reduction initiatives
Improve accountability through detailed audit trails
Monitor device usage trends and resource demands
By combining usage data with operational reporting, organisations can make evidence-based decisions that improve both environmental performance and cost efficiency.
The platform's customisable reporting capabilities also enable IT and operational teams to track sustainability objectives, measure progress, and support continuous improvement initiatives. As environmental reporting and accountability become increasingly important, ONARKEN® demonstrates how technology can help organisations make measurable progress towards their sustainability goals.

Supporting the Circular Economy
At LapSafe®, our approach aligns closely with the principles of the circular economy.
Across our operations we focus on four key objectives:
Reduce resource consumption wherever possible
Reuse products and materials wherever practical
Repair products to maximise product lifespan
Recycle responsibly at end of life
These principles influence the way we design products, manage resources, and support customers throughout the life of their investment.
Environmental and Social Value
Sustainability today extends beyond environmental performance alone.
LapSafe® has also achieved Environmental & Social Value Certification, recognising our commitment to delivering positive outcomes for people, communities, and the environment.
As public and private sector procurement increasingly considers social value alongside cost and quality, organisations are looking for suppliers that demonstrate a genuine commitment to responsible business practices. This certification reinforces our dedication to operating in a way that benefits customers, employees, communities, and the wider environment.
Trusted Compliance and Product Safety
When investing in technology storage and charging solutions, sustainability must be balanced with safety, compliance, and reliability.
All LapSafe® products undergo rigorous testing through independent accredited bodies to ensure they meet applicable national and international safety requirements.
Our products are certified, or are being re-certified, to comply with standards including:
UKCA
CE
UL
CB
ECAS
ACMA
EMC
FCC
This ongoing investment ensures our solutions remain safe, compliant, and suitable for deployment across education, healthcare, public sector, financial services, defence, aerospace, and many other environments worldwide.
Looking Towards a More Sustainable Future
Sustainability is not a destination but an ongoing commitment.
As technology evolves and environmental expectations increase, LapSafe® continues to review its environmental objectives, invest in product development, and work alongside customers and partners to reduce environmental impact wherever possible.
By combining durable product design, energy-efficient technology, data-driven asset management, recognised management standards, and a commitment to environmental and social value, we are helping organisations make more sustainable purchasing decisions without compromising quality, safety, or performance.
As a trusted global brand, we remain focused on delivering innovative storage and charging solutions that support modern workplaces while contributing to a more sustainable future.
If your organisation is reviewing its storage and charging requirements and wants a solution built around long-term value, sustainability, compliance, and efficiency, LapSafe® has a range of products designed to support those goals.
