SUSTAINABILITY

We have been careful to create working environments (both site and office based) where the efficient use of resources has been adopted as a standard policy.

SPEAK TO A MEMBER OF TEAM TODAY

WE VALUE SUSTAINABILITY

At Maylarch, sustainability is a value that we apply to all aspects of the work we carry out. For us, being sustainable means looking after every single aspect of the impact of our activities.

We look to establish a Sustainable Culture and to build sustainable relationships:

WITH OUR STAFF

Sustainability has been clearly embedded into our company culture and we look to our staff to embrace this ethos and help move us even further ahead in our aims to continue operating as a responsible and sustainable company.

Maylarch operates a certified IMS (Integrated Management System) which includes policies, procedures, objectives and other relevant documents to assist in creating awareness of environmental impacts and obligations, and identifying and communicating suitable measures to minimise these.

WITH OUR CLIENTS

We have an unwavering ambition to be as sustainable as we possibly can and be the #1 choice for all 3 of our core services.

Sustainability practices include purchase and use of energy efficient equipment/ vehicles/ plant, maintaining equipment to a good standard so it remains efficient, installation of motion sensing energy efficient lighting in our offices, turning off electrical equipment when not in use (rather than in standby mode). Throughout the office we have low energy LED lighting with most of our electricity coming from solar panels.

Waste is a huge factor in our industry, this is embraced with materials segregation being at the hart of what we do, both on site and in the office. Last year we generated over 14,000 tonnes of waste with 1,755 tonnes being hazardous asbestos waste that had to be sent to landfill. Out of the remaining balance of 13,000 tonnes, only 37 tonnes ended up in landfill, demonstrating a diversion from landfill rate of over 99%.

TO ACHIEVE THIS, WE CAN:

Produce pre-demolition, refurbishment strip out waste audits

Offer waste audits and solutions for all waste i.e. hazardous, active and inert and help clients produce and supply some of the information for their SWMPs

Report on project waste/materials in CO2

We have worked with Oxford Brookes University’s Environmental Information Exchange to produce a project waste carbon calculator. This can help with understanding the overall carbon footprint of a project by reporting on the embedded carbon in the Demolition/Enabling Phase

Provide full compliance on initiatives such as the Carbon Reduction Commitment, PAS:402, Green Compass and the Nottingham Declaration on Climate Change.

WANT TO FIND OUT MORE?

We are also keen to talk to designers and manufacturers of building products as well as architects to discuss how we can make buildings easier to recycle with a greater number of components that can be reused.
