Envirocon is an industry leader in sustainability. This policy outlines our commitment to lead the industry to a more sustainable future.
Introduction
Envirocon is committed to sustainability. We take a circular approach to sustainability, which means we aim to design and manufacture products that can be reused, recycled, or composted at the end of their life. We have implemented a comprehensive set of initiatives to close the loop on waste and deliver the most sustainable construction system to the market.
Accredited Product Stewardship
Envirocon operates New Zealand's first and only construction-related product stewardship scheme accredited by the Minister for the Environment under the Waste Minimisation Act 2008. Under the scheme, Envirocon takes high-quality, certified concrete that is surplus to requirements and casts it into a unique precast concrete construction system. This prevents the concrete from being sent to landfill, where it would contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
Low Carbon Precast Construction
Envirocon's precast concrete products have an ultra-low embodied carbon profile. This means that they have a significantly lower environmental impact than traditional concrete products. Envirocon's precast concrete products are the lowest carbon, most sustainable precast construction system in the market.
Deconstruction
Envirocon's precast construction systems are designed to be non-destructively dismantled at end of life. This means that they can be reused or recycled, rather than being sent to landfill. This helps to reduce waste and conserve resources.
Block Buyback Offer
Envirocon offers a comprehensive buyback guarantee on its precast concrete systems. This means that if a customer no longer has a use for the blocks, Envirocon will purchase them back and find a new home for them. This helps to ensure that the blocks are not sent to landfill and that they continue to be used and reused.
Conclusion
Envirocon is committed to sustainability. We take a circular approach to sustainability, which means we aim to design and manufacture products that can be reused at the end of their life. We have implemented a comprehensive set of initiatives to close the loop on waste and deliver the most sustainable construction system to the market.
