Circular Economy
A circular economy has clear advantages over traditional processes, with benefits for our planet and significant cost savings for your business. It’s the obvious direction of travel for any environmentally responsible and ambitious company.
What is a circular economy?
Our traditional linear economy – make, use and dispose – just isn’t sustainable.
A circular economy offers an attractive alternative, based on the simple principle of using materials and products for as long as possible.
When they are no longer functional or fit for their original purpose, a circular economy encourages us to regenerate products or adapt them for another purpose.
Why is a circular economy important?
Yielding maximum value from original materials and delaying disposal for as long as possible means circular economies save time, energy and natural resources.
This approach will reduce waste, minimise the level of raw materials extracted and drive down emissions across the board. It’s clearly preferable in terms of sustainability, as well as reducing costs and increasing profits throughout the chain.
How can we implement a circular economy?
A true circular economy requires effective team work between your organisation, supply chains and consumers.
We will work with you to support your move towards an environmentally and economically sustainable future by encouraging and advising you on the best ways to reuse materials where possible, to delay recycling, reduce carbon emissions and cut costs.
RECYCLING
Recycling more, using smarter and more targeted methods, will minimise costs for your business and the Earth’s natural resources.
WE OFFSET YOUR CARBON
Transporting and recycling your waste contributes to your carbon footprint. We can minimise the impact, by collecting data, calculating and responsibly offsetting your emissions.
CONSIDERATE CONSTRUCTORS
We encourage and support you to participate in the Considerate Constructors scheme, to boost public perception of the sector and reinforce environmental responsibility.
