About Green Lens Studios


Born from an eco-led renovation of an 1880s stable, Green Lens Studios places planetary stewardship at the heart of everything we do. Sustainability isn’t an afterthought here—it’s the lens we choose. We partner with green-certified suppliers, prioritise energy‑efficient lighting, embrace low‑impact travel and zero‑waste production, and actively measure and offset our environmental footprint.

Designed with circularity and long-term responsibility in mind, the studio features reclaimed timber floors, repurposed sets, and solar-powered systems. Our heating runs on renewable electricity, our cleaning products are biodegradable, and we operate with a strict no single-use plastic policy. All waste is recycled or composted wherever possible.

To give back beyond the walls of our space, we plant one tree for every booking through our partnership with Trees for Streets—ensuring every shoot leaves something meaningful behind.

Here are some measures we’ve taken to make Green Lens more sustainable:

Energy-Conscious Buildings

• We used 70% reclaimed material for studio’s conversion.

• Our studios are furnished with repurposed, upcycled, or second-hand furniture and props, sourced to reduce waste and extend material life

• We use insulation and draft-proofing in all our buildings 

• We use energy & water saving devices

GREEN POWER

For the last 15 years we’ve been on a 100% green energy plan with Ecotricity, and we’re actively seeking green hosting providers for our website and digital infrastructure

Low-Impact Transport

We promote cycling and electric delivery options whenever possible — both for equipment transport and crew travel. For city shoots, we recommend cargo bikes or electric cabs and can help with referrals

Recycling & Waste Minimisation

We recycle as much as possible, and are developing a recycling/reuse plan for every shoot, encouraging set and materials donation after projects wrap

We use organic or fairtrade produce wherever possible

Eco-Conscious Catering

We offer a list of recommended eco-conscious caterers to ensure that organic and fairtrade produce is served. We always encourage plant-based and locally sourced food options on set..

Creative Sustainability Advocacy

We regularly host workshops, talks, and exhibitions that champion sustainable artistic practices and invite collaboration across disciplines

Offsetting Through Nature

  • To offset our carbon footprint we annually participate in a tree planting initiative

  • For very booking made in 2025, we will plant a tree—rooting each creative project in ecological restoration

    Transparency & Roadmap

We’re currently working on:

  • Tracking carbon emissions per booking

  • Exploring microplastic-reducing laundry options and solar panels

  • Migrating digital hosting to renewables.”

  • Request Ethical Providers: Choose transport, insurance, hosting, and supplies that align with climate-conscious values. We’re happy to help you find them.

  • Consider Preloved Gear: Platforms like MPB.com offer refurbished photography and video equipment with circular business models. FATLAMA.com use of peer-to-peer equipment rental, which reduce waste and promote a circular economy by enabling creatives to borrow gear locally instead of buying new.

  • Measure Your Impact: Use tools like AdGreen’s Carbon Calculator to understand the emissions associated with your shoot or production.
