Environmental & Waste Management      
             
 
Oakleaf is committed to promoting sustainability by:-
   
 
     
 
Reducing the amount of waste produced    
 
     
 
Re-using as great a proportion of off-cuts as possible    
 
     
 
Re-cycling waste produced on site    
 
     
 
Reduce CO2 emissions    
 
     
         
  Environmental & Waste Management Procedures    
         
 
Ordering plasterboard to size that minimises the cuts and therefore the waste    
         
 
Ensuring that the cuts that are produced are of such a size that the can be re-used somewhere else on the project. This in turn reduces the level of housekeeping on site as there is less material to be gathered up and discarded.    
         
 
We employ a 'just-in-time' policy of delivering material, such that excessive amounts of materials are not stored on site and therefore will not be open to subsequent damage.    
         
 

We engage, when required, waste management consultants to help manage the disposal and recycling of our waste in accordance with leading industry practices. These specialists provide onsite collection service and a fully traceable legal transfer documentation policy.

   
         
 

Oakleaf can provide a 30 cu yd skip for the disposal of Plasterboard and metal for recycling. The skip will be covered and left onsite for the duration of the contract, and emptied weekly by specially adapted hiab lorry. This will reduce CO2 emissions by 60%
