With the construction industry working hard to meet Net-Zero targets by 2050 it is important the whole supply chain works together to reduce carbon emissions which means specifiers working with suppliers that are reducing their own carbon footprint. Here at Vent-Axia, we are committed to help make sustainable attainable and focusing on how we can improve lives through the impact of our products, our impact on the planet and our impact on our people. From energy usage and climate change to air quality and future lifestyles, these are the areas where we can have the biggest positive impacts. So why not join us on our journey and work with us so we can help you reach your sustainability goals. Discover the great steps we have taken because sustainable is attainable. Reduce & Recycle Plastics Energy Efficient Products Environmental Initiatives We continually look for ways that we can use recycled plastics, create modular products and use alternative materials. Corrugated cardboard and other forms of paper-based packaging are regarded as being amongst the most environmentally friendly and sustainable packing solutions. Therefore, we have reduced the single use plastic in our packaging by replacing it with environmentally friendly cardboard, saving 9,892kg (10 tonnes) of blister packs a year.* Striving to use recycled material is a high on the sustainability goals list. Therefore, we recycled the High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) used in fridges for all rigid ducting accessories preventing the content from 63,000 fridges weighing 504 tonnes going to landfill last year.* The benefits of recycling old window frames are that they can be reused and turned into something new. Our PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) ducting is made from these recycled sources. In 2019, we processed 3,623 tonnes of recycled PVC back into ducting, making it a sustainable material in the building sector driving eco-friendly design.* Finding eco-friendly packaging encompasses everything from design to production to disposal and we are committed to reducing single use plastic in our supply chain. In 2020, we recycled 77 tonnes of plastic shrink-wrap supporting a green supply chain.* In the drive for reducing single use plastic and finding green packaging solutions, each year, we eliminate 630,000 single use plastic poly bags from our supply chain and reducing the use of the single-use plastic in our manufacturing process.* Sustainable by design is a way to reduce plastic waste. Due to its well-engineered design, the Lo-Carbon Revive fan has modular components. If a social housing provider needs to replace a fan, in many cases a new spare part can be ordered, helping to avoid replacing the entire fan unit and thereby avoid the whole unit ending up in landfill.* Lo--Carbon Revive > View our 'Sustainable is Attainable' infographic.
