Environment
We support the UK’s Net Zero goals every day. We use solar power at our offices in Berkshire. Our kitchen is focused around recycling and sustainability. All lighting is person reactive and we actively encourage staff to move away from fossil fuel use through our electric car salary sacrifice scheme.
On-site, you’ll find over 80% of the systems we use are made from recycled and recyclable materials. Our acoustic flooring alone saves tonnes of car tyres from going to landfill every year. Our systems also save water, and reduce embodied carbon in construction.
The path towards
Net Zero
InstaGroup develops and manufactures products and technologies that reduce the reliance on fossil fuels.
Our business operations use sustainably sourced and we use recycled materials wherever possible.
We’re reducing the impact of construction
- Cuts transportation and energy use
- Reduces water use on-site
- Reduces carbon dioxide emissions
- Lowers the levels of embodied carbon used in construction
- Lightweight system reduces the structural loadings on the building
- Wooden components are manufactured from traceable sources of timber obtained from FSC® certified sustainable forests and other controlled sources
Our business is built on re-using and recycling
- Lowers the carbon intensity of tyres
- Prevents landfill waste: our recent projects at South Quay Plaza and Sheffield used the equivalent of over 13,500 car tyres
- Our rubber crumb products last for decades and can be recycled again, without losing their integrity or quality
- We’ve developed a method to recycle UPVC window frames as an alternative to the wooden battens used in our flooring
- Our dry-adhesive flooring makes it easier to recycle and re-use flooring while reducing contamination and waste
Tackling the climate emergency
We are investing in the development of new heating and thermal technology that will cut carbon emissions, save energy and reduce pollution.
We supply and install the latest in solar technology, and we’re getting ready to offer low carbon alternatives for heating such as air heat pumps.
We’re investigating the potential of new products such as electrically heated floor and wall tiles.
Our environmental management system is certified ISO 14001.
