Damar Group Ltd is wholeheartedly committed to minimising all waste and if it should occur every effort will be made to recycle such materials.
Damar Group Ltd reduces the amount of waste created by careful and efficient office management and also, provides the recycling of such waste where practicable.
Waste reduction is maximised by using recycled paper wherever appropriate and the use of environmentally friendly cleaning agents, which do not contain phosphates of CFC’s.
Electrical energy and heating energy is conserved by the widespread use of time switches.
Strict site procedures help to keep site waste to an absolute minimum, which not only helps environmentally but, also, reduces costs applicable to our own operatives.
As with office waste, every effort is made to recycle the waste. The use of nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries for tools is also encouraged. Where recycling is not possible, materials will be disposed of safely and efficiently.
All waste materials are stored in a safe and secure manner and kept in appropriate containers.
Damar Group Ltd is a registered waste carrier for non-hazardous waste. Where hazardous substances are involved, we ensure that only companies with the relevant waste disposal management license are contracted.
When waste changes hands we ensure that transfer notes are completed and signed by both parties and a written description of the waste handed over. Likewise all redundant office furniture and associated items will be collected in the same manner.
Where we are able to influence the design for the project, we base our decisions on sustainable requirements in order to conserve resources for future generations. By the careful selection and use of these resources we are able to improve the whole life environmental performance of our construction projects.
