    Here at Snazaroo, we are hosting an arts library for the month of October for Mental Health Day. With creativity having a positive impact on Mental Health for so many, we felt it was the perfect way to share the amazing art resources we have been sent to try out.  Thanks to Kidderminster and Lowestoft for sending us some factory seconds in order for this initiative to take place.

    A Big Step Towards Sustainability at DC7 with the New Solar Panel Installation

    We’ve made significant strides in sustainability by installing the new solar panel system at our UK Distribution Centre. Launched in September 2024, this new system demonstrates Colart\’s commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and embracing renewable energy.

    The solar panel setup has a power output of 159.6 kWp and is expected to produce approximately 139,037 kWh of electricity annually.

    Impressively, 38.1% of this energy will directly power DC7’s operations (making us over 41% self-sufficient), significantly reducing reliance on external energy sources. The remaining green electricity produced will be sold back to the grid.

    Environmentally, the solar panels will help avoid nearly 27,000 kg of CO₂ emissions each year, aligning with Colart\’s sustainability goals and reinforcing our commitment to greener operations.

    The project will pay for itself in just five years, with an accumulated cash flow of £450K projected over its expected 25-year lifespan.

    With minimal shading effects and a high-performance ratio of 84.94%, the system is designed for optimal efficiency and long-term durability. The strategic implementation of this solar initiative marks a major milestone for Colart in our journey towards sustainable operations and responsible energy use.

    Many thanks to all involved, Ajita, Anthony, Sarwar, James, Liza and many more. There will be a news post coming soon with more detail…

    Great to be at the Opus store on Granville Island, Vancouver, today, helping John Mark and Kristen with the installation of new W&N watercolour displays. In fairness they’d done nearly all the work before I arrived – so well done and thank you to them and all involved it making these new displays really elevate our brand in store

Creating Impact Tip
Millions of tonnes of clothing, shoes and other textiles end up in landfill every year because very little is sent for recycling .

“The current fashion system uses high volumes of non-renewable resources, including petroleum, extracted to produce clothes that are often used only for a short period of time, after which the materials are largely lost to landfill or incineration. “This system puts pressure on valuable resources such as water, pollutes the environment and degrades ecosystems in addition to creating societal impacts on a global scale.” There are good reasons to seek out alternatives to chucking clothes in the bin – globally the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with textile production alone is estimated to release 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. Vast amounts of water are also needed to produce the clothes we wear too and the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global waste water.  At the same time we are buying more clothes than ever – the average consumer now buys 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago. More than two tonnes of clothing are bought each minute in the UK, more than any other country in Europe. Globally, around 56 million tonnes of clothing are bought each year, and this is expected to rise to 93 million tonnes by 2030 and 160 million tonnes by 2050.

"Reuse. Recycle. Rethink — your clothes deserve a second life, not a landfill."
