Calztec promote Bromsgrove business recycling month

As part of Bromsgrove business recycling month, which runs from 18th March (Global recycling day) until 22nd April (Earth Day), we are promoting our ongoing environmental initiatives designed to ensure we improve our carbon footprint.

The month-long campaign is the brainchild of Bromsgrove District Council’s Business Waste Team which is actively encouraging more businesses to sign up for recycling services.

Environmental initiatives

Our environmental management system is ISO 14001 certified, providing confidence that our operations are fully compliant with legislation, whilst minimising our impact on the environment.
To reduce the need for printing and support our goal of operating a paperless office, we have invested a lot of resources into new software implementation. We use project management software, Procore, to provide clients with detailed digital reports and real time information.
We have acquired our first electric vehicle. Investing in a cleaner fleet of powered vehicles is another route to enhancing our environmental strategy.
Other initiatives we have adopted, include: procuring materials from suppliers located within a short distance from each of our projects, all metal and cardboard from our sites and head office are being recycled and we refined our ordering process to stop overordering and reduce waste going to landfill.

With the construction, demolition and excavation (CDE) sectors generating around 119.4m tonnes of UK waste accounting for 62% in 2018, Sophie Clarke, C.O.O., Calztec, feels more can be done to significantly reduce the figure. “By introducing a range of environmental initiatives, we are not just playing our part, we are demonstrating to the rest of the industry what can be achieved when it comes to sustainability. This is only the start of our journey, and we are always looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint.”

We’ve got our first TESLA

28/03/2022

As part of our drive to become more environmentally considerate, we have acquired our first TESLA to join our fleet of vehicles.

In 2020, Tesla customers helped accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy by avoiding 5.0 million metric tons of CO2e emissions. For companies like Calztec, with a desire to reduce their impact on the environment, investing in a cleaner fleet of vehicles is the route to a successful environmental strategy.

As we look to upgrade our existing fleet and battery technology becomes longer-lasting, I see electric vehicles as the number one choice.
