SDG 15

- Offset a further 10 tCO2e of currently unavoidable paper product emissions through the Carbon Balanced paper initiative in partnership with the World Land Trust and CarbonCO in 2025
- Continue to offer our clients and maintain a constant in-house stock of recycled paper, which encourages an circular approach to material usage
Our Material Circularity Process
The way we deal with waste is in line with the 10 Rs of the Circular Economy.
Waste is segregated on site to avoid contamination and maximise recycling rates.
PVC cutoffs and excess materials is sent to our Circularity partner to be made into skirting, cladding, and other longlife products.
Corriboard is sent with our waste contractor to be remanufactured into construction material.
We maintain regular contact with our suppliers and waste contractors to ensure that their goals align with our own and our clients.
Our current circular pathways are not fully closed-loop, and we are currently in the process of developing a Circular Signage Solution for the sector with Ulster University and CIRCULÉIRE.

Case Studies
Some of our past work with eco-conscious clients and projects.
The Metrics
Transparency is key to forming trust between partners. We want to help you reach your sustainability goals, so it’s only fair that you know what ours are and how we are doing. The CSRD makes it mandatory for large companies to publish these details, and while we are an SME and sit below the mandatory reporting threshold, working with larger companies means being willing to go out of our way to share in the challenge. Achieving lasting change is a collaborative process, by helping each other, we can all benefit.
Recycling Metrics
We are committed to recycling as much as possible our recycling for 2025 is 90% of total waste, our goal for 2030 is 95%.
Energy Consumption & Associated Emissions
Our baseline emissions were 35.8 tons of C02 in 2019, by 2023 we reached 27.14. A decrease of 24%.
Carbon Footprint
In 2024, we reduced Scope 1 emissions by 20.6% and Scope 2 by 43.6%, reducing total emissions to 33.29 tons. Our 2025 target is 31.58 tons, aiming for a 51% cut by 2030 from our 52.3-ton baseline.
Renewable Energy Use
In 2024, 58% of our energy came from renewables through a Flogas green energy contract and onsite solar PV. We're targeting 100% by 2025 and maintaining it through 2030.
Bubble Wrap Reduction
We've reduced bubble wrap usage by 79%, from 28 rolls to just 6 in 2024. Our goal is 4 rolls by 2025 and a complete phase-out by 2030.
Paper Emissions Offset
In 2024, we offset 8.63 tCO₂e through the Carbon Balanced Paper initiative with World Land Trust. We're targeting 12.9 tCO₂e in 2025.
