At Moore Concrete, we are conscious of the impact our business activities have on the environment. As a company we continuously work towards being a positive contributor to the environment, local community and our customers.
ISO 14001 is used as the basis for managing our environmental obligations and achieving internal environmental objectives and targets. These objectives are communicated throughout the company in order to increase environmental awareness.
We strive to be at the forefront of not only green manufacturing, but greener products, enabling our customers to achieve their environmental goals.
Reducing the amount of cement in our concrete mixes has been an ongoing process for over 20 years now at Moore Concrete, due to evolving technology we can currently produce precast concrete products with a mix including up to 66% GGBS. This lowers the CO² content of our concrete by over 50%.
Moore Concrete have recently completed a research project to develop highly durable, corrosion resistant concrete mix designs for use in the creation of marine infrastructure.
The new optimised mix design displays improvement over our current 40% GGBS mix and the use of this in future projects should see Moore Concrete perform better in production and use.
All of our scrap steel and timber is recycled.
We also go to great lengths to ensure we recycle as much water as possible during the manufacturing process. All of the excess water from manufacturing and washouts is cleaned and recycled.
Water used in manufacturing is sourced from a borehole, by pumping water directly from the borehole to our production teams we minimise the use of mains water supply. This results in the amount of energy required to supply our factory with water being greatly reduced.
Our factory is 100% powered by onshore wind energy.
80% of our suppliers are based locally, this not only reduces transport emissions but supports the local economy.
