They last\nfive times longer so don\u2019t need to be replaced as regularly and they are also smaller\nand lighter, so transportation is more efficient which reduces its carbon\nfootprint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLithium also\nputs less strain on the trolley itself, which not only improves longevity, but\ndue to the reduced weight and increased efficiency, it also requires less\nelectricity to get a trolley around the golf course,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with\nleading the way in Lithium, Motocaddy has invested heavily in its boxes, with\nnew polystyrene-free packaging being rolled out across the range. Futher\nenhancing its green credentials, the cardboard used to hold the trolley in\nplace for storage and transportation is 100% recyclable, with the company\ndelivering further environmental savings in every area, from the trolley\nproduction process all the way to operating on the course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe looked at\nour brand ethos and how we could be more environmentally friendly in every aspect,\u201d\nsaid Neil. \u201cChanging our packaging has been added to the trolley development\nprocess, but we begin the environmental savings way before that with 20% of\nrecycled aluminium and plastic being used when producing our trolleys at\nfactory level. In addition, 80% of all trolley components used are also\nrecyclable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnce out on\nthe course, the trolleys themselves are increasingly eco-friendly. The unprecedented\nreliability of our trolleys enables them to last longer than ever and therefore\ndon\u2019t need to be replaced as often. Plus, in the unlikely event of a problem,\nour trolleys are also easier to repair than ever, which helps lengthen their\nlifespan,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on all Motocaddy trolleys, bags, batteries and accessories, please visit <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"www.motocaddy.com (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.motocaddy.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.motocaddy.com<\/a><\/strong>.
