AC

AC PLC are one of the only few contractor members of carpet recycling UK where we aim to reduce or recycle as much carpet and carpet tile waste as possible. We are active members of recofloor scheme where we work closely with the leading resilient flooring manufacturers to reduce the impact of PVC on the environment by recycling wherever possible site generated waste. We have a strict policy on the procurement of timber products to ensure full FSC compliance including the monitoring and management of the 'Chain of Custody' process to ensure ethical and sustainable timber sourcing. Site operatives are encouraged to carry out tiling work in an economic manner, reusing materials wherever possible and avoiding over-ordering of materials, reducing wastage wherever possible. Pallets are stored and in most cases returned to the respective suppliers at the completion of the project. Waste materials onsite are given due care and attention when sorted, according to their required disposal method. Non-site disposable waste is often collected by ourselves, brought to our premises and disposed of by the appropriate means. Both management and site staff are encouraged to use local suppliers, where it is practical, when arranging material deliveries. In addition, staff visiting projects and sites are encouraged to travel via public transport wherever it can be best utilised. These efforts are aimed at reducing the overall carbon footprint or our work, which we will endeavour to continually improve upon. e also encourage our office and administration staff to display an environmental awareness. Waste paper generated at both offices is actively recycled, and warehouse staff are required to sort materials brought back from site into recyclable and non-recyclable waste. We will continue to evaluate the impact our work has on the environment and aim to reduce it as best we can with new and innovative solutions.
