Reigate Building Services Environmental Policy

Environmental

Mode recognises the importance of ensuring it incorporates environmental and sustainability issues into its services, and is committed to the continual improvement of environmental performance.
We demonstrate our commitment by:

Reviewing and gaining an understanding of the environmental impacts arising from our business
Complying with all applicable UK and European environmental legislation
Reducing energy and resource consumption consistent with best practice.
Minimising the generation of waste and implementing recycling initiatives
Ensuring that the policy is understood, implemented and maintained at all levels within the organisation
Periodically reviewing the policy to take account of changes in organisation, legislation, government targets or other factors

Plasterboard

Since the 1st of April 2009, new government legislation prohibits plasterboard from being taken to landfill. This means that any plasterboard must be reused or recycled at a specialist plasterboard recycling facility. All of our waste plasterboard is collected or taken for recycling at specialist plasterboard recycling facilities.

Wood

Every day, a huge amount of waste timber is generated by industries working in construction. In accordance with our environmental policy we now recycle old roofing timbers and other large timbers, which are collected by the Mid Sussex Wood Recycling Project. The project was formed in 2007 to prevent some of the thousands of tonnes of discarded wood from industry going to landfill.

They are a not-for-profit environmental group that is financially self-supporting. Income is derived from the charges made for collection and from sales of wood and wood products. They have recycled 591 tonnes of timber to-date … this equates to over 35,500 pallets re-used or recycled!

Skips

777 Group currently provides Mode with all skips, and ‘muck away’ grab lorries. They operate from a modern Recycling Centre in Croydon, with a state of the art large scale RDF (Refuse derived fuel) processing plant, currently processing over 300-500 tonnes of waste per day. Approximately only 2% of this is sent to landfill. 777 currently recycles or re-uses 98% of all materials as well as providing skip hire and fully accredited asbestos management.
