LA Muscle uses:
These days there is a lot of talk about reducing your carbon footprint, being more green and helping the environment. LA Muscle has always tried to be as green as possible without compromising the quality of its products. We have not broadcast this out to the world because it is something that we undertook years ago as a matter of course and not a publicity exercise.
LA Muscle started manufacturing locally a few years back. We have done this in several countries as much as possible, without compromising the potency of products. This enables us to give you fresher products and drastically off-set our carbon footprint due to the way goods are transported. Instead of a planeload of products crossing the Atlantic, we have a delivery by a truck from a few miles away.
Whenever we ship anything by plane, we insist on using scheduled flights.
LA Muscle uses recycled materials where possible and where available. This goes for paper, cardboard, plastics and glass. We started one of the first commercial recycling initiatives in our area at our London headquarters. Commercial recycling is not cheap and most companies do not do it as they don't need to. LA Muscle pays for recycling. We have also encouraged our neighbours in London to join in the initiative - that's 24 other companies! We urge recipients of emails to not print them where possible.
LA Muscle encourages you to recycle its products. In the first ever initiative of its kind, LA Muscle will collect its plastic tubs from you free of charge and recycle them for you. This is a free service if you have 10 or more tubs.
You can call 0044 2089651177 to arrange a collection.
LA Muscle uses dry-tableting for its manufacturing process. We also use water sparingly in all our headquarters worldwide. We encourage you to use water sparingly as the world's resources are limited and availability should not be taken for granted.
LA Muscle also pays very close attention to lighting and we use low energy lighting where possible.
LA Muscle has reduced travelling for all its senior directors and managers as much as practicable. If we can do something via conference call or email, this is what we do. We travel transatlantic as little as possible and we encourage car sharing and walking as much as possible for all staff.
In line with LA Muscle’s Green Policy and reducing carbon footprint, LA Muscle is using a “ONE SIZE” tub for most supplements. This is to reduce the use of plastic tubs by having tens of different sizes for various products and having to over-manufacture plastics. As a result, you may find that in many LA Muscle supplements, the tub is much bigger than the total size of all pills. You are still getting the exact number of pills/capsules/powder you have paid for, however there will be extra space at the top, giving the impression to some people that the tub is not full. This is solely because of our commitment to reducing the need for making extra plastic tubs. LA Muscle does not use cotton wool to fill up the extra space because cotton wool can attract microbes. Your safety AND the protection of the planet are big parts of the LA Muscle ethos.
LA Muscle uses the same methodology when it comes to using boxes. Instead of manufacturing and storing hundreds of different box sizes, the sizes are reduced to a few efficient size boxes which serve almost all the products. All LA Muscle boxes are 100% recyclable.
Since the early days, we have always put a substantial amount of money back into the industry. This has been through sponsoring individuals or events. In many cases sponsoring a show costs several thousand pounds and the returns are minimal. LA Muscle has continued show sponsorship as this is often the "only" way an event can take place enabling athletes and body builders to compete.
LA Muscle TV is a global project enabling sports persons from around the world to showcase their talents. Again we have opted to hire local camera crews as opposed to making them travel by plane.
Hopefully the above has given you a clearer understanding of LA Muscle's philosophy. Whilst we are a commercial company, we also are aware of global problems and try and do our best to reduce or off-set carbon footprint and contribute to a better world.
