The most important goal of sustainable manufacturing is minimizing negative environmental impacts, while conserving energy and natural resources. To achieve this, a manufacturer must be committed to only using parts that are made locally or nationally.
The Walsall Wheelbarrow Co. Ltd. is, in practice, a sustainable manufacturer. As the lone wheelbarrow manufacturer in the United Kingdom, Walsall only uses parts made in the UK. It is also an innovative 60-year-old company that developed the first steel wheelbarrow and was the first to offer a lifetime guarantee on the polypropylene wheel centers used on all of its wheelbarrows.
