All of our trading policies aim to maximize productivity from the resources we use, while minimising waste and leaving as small an environmental footprint as we can. For example, all waste wood is recycled and all sawdust and wood shavings are used by a local farmers etc. We also regularly donate chippings and offcuts to local community project centres, where this 'waste' is turned into fire burning logs, bird boxes or anything else that comes to mind and keeps our environmental helpers busy.
In our office and factory we have used reclaimed timber to build shelves, tables, waterproof structures and a table for the summer BBQ. All of our stationary is composed of recycled paper and our future plans for minimizing board sample material is radically different and involves much less waste material.
Our support for Reclaimed Flooring
The benefits are environmentally obvious, we all know what the true benefits are: saving massive amounts of timber from landfill, reducing CO2 emissions, saving forests and woodlands, looking after the planet and future generation and feeling very good about yourself.
We aim to become one of the biggest UK suppliers of genuine reclaimed engineered flooring by mid 2013. This is the obvious next innovative step for us to take with our quest to sell even more reclaimed floorboard material.
Sponsor Trees work with local tree planting organizations around desperate developing countries planting millions of trees every year. Through their projects a wide range of tree types including both indigenous trees and fruit trees are planted in Africa and other tropical locations. The trees sponsored by you and The Reclaimed Flooring Company offer as many benefits to the local communities as possible, and actively help save the environment.
Each tree absorbs approximately 25kg of carbon emissions each year meaning 1 ton is removed from the atmosphere over a 40 year lifetime. The trees convert this Co2 into things people can use like food, shelter and medication and thus carbon offsetting is not the only benefits of trees to our environment. To help absorb carbon emissions and reduce your carbon footprint, offset your emissions by sponsoring trees and planting online. Trees are an accepted form of Carbon Offsetting by the Kyoto Protocol and the tree planting projects comply with UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Climate Control Convention).
