Environmental Policy
Abacus Renewable Energy are committed to doing as much as we can to protect the environment.
To that end we have adopted a simple philosophy.
Reduce
- We are always looking at ways of reducing our energy consumption both in the office and at home
- We use low energy lighting.
- We only half fill our vehicles with fuel, less weight less fuel consumption.
- We check our tyre pressure regularly, correct tyre pressure equals better fuel economy.
- We reuse old paperwork for notepads.
- We have recently invested in a printer with a duplex facility to print on both sides thereby using less paper.
- Every evening if an item can be turned off at the mains, it is.
- We only print our emails if it is absolutely necessary.
Reuse
- We will always reuse any item first before deciding if it can be recycled or disposed of.
- All of our module mounting rails are measured and reused where possible
- All of our off cuts of cable are measured and reused where possible
- We reuse any packing materials that we receive.
Recycle
- We will always recycle any item that we can including:
- The wooden pallets that the modules are delivered on are either chopped up and used on our own wood burning stove or recycled.
- All of the off cuts of cable and aluminium module rail that can't be reused.
- All of the modules and inverter cardboard packing.
