Paint cans, waste cans and residue due not go to landfill sites.<\/p>\n

Plastic and metal cans are recycled into other items, like tools and garden furniture.<\/p>\n

Water-based residue is turned into compost.<\/p>\n

Solvent-based paint waste is used to generate energy.<\/p>\n

Where possible, we work with our trade partners to keep environmental impacts down to a minimum. Aiming to use water-based paints as much as possible to ensure harmful chemicals do not pollute water supplies or local environments, whilst maintaining a professional finish.<\/p>\n

The most environmentally friendly paints are those that have been formulated to use less resources, be longer lasting and give good coverage.<\/p>\n

By using the right paint, we save time and resources by reducing application. It’s best to use paints which have reduced Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and less embodied carbon. Choosing a high quality paint with high volume solids means that less will be used, better opacity means less is needed to give good coverage.<\/p>\n

It’s impossible to avoid using energy, particularly electricity, whilst on-site. The ket to sustainability is ensuring that we use as little as possible.<\/p>\n

Majority of good practice is common sense and is created by forming the right habits – such as always turning off electrical equipment when it’s not in use and to use more electrical efficient equipment rather than the alternatives. Doing so when possible will make a massive difference over time and forms best practices.<\/p>\n

There are many opportunities to cut waste on-site and manage it’s disposable effectively, by following a system to reduce, reuse and recycle.<\/p>\n

Our continuous commitment to the Dulux Can Recycling Service allows us to minimise our environmental impact, to ensure that we are working towards a sustainable future. As a business, we monitor as much as we possible can, so that less waste goes into the landfill and our waste disposal is as efficient as it can be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
