Where possible materials are selected from sustainable sources, waste materials are disassembled and reused when required. This limits the amount of waste we create and reduces over production of materials unnecessarily. We make suggestions to our clients for products which have been sustainably made and tested without compromising design. The retrofit or reuse of materials – as a whole or in part – is preferable as it is typically the lowest carbon option. We work with designers making suggestions for future ease of dismantling, rather than normal demolition, meaning that materials and products can be reused for the same purpose as originally intended.
We have recycling supply chain agreements for empty containers and packaging, they take these back and recycle them again and again to reduce waste charges and landfill waste.
Examples other initiatives are:
- Donations of left over materials
- Use of pallets for fencing
- Paperless offices
- Saving stripped out materials that can be shipped to other countries
