Optima is passionate about reducing the impact our activities have on the environment. We have therefore implemented the following objectives and initiatives.
Simple three point initiative implemented at all our manufacturing facilities:
- Reduce the production of waste materials, encouraging energy efficiency
- Re-use and increase the use of products containing recycled materials
- Recycle eliminating waste to landfill by 2010
Many of our current products are demountable and can be relocated and re-used within a building.
All of our products can, upon reaching the end of their useful life, be dismantled allowing the aluminium, glass, steel, plastic, timber and insulation materials to be recovered from site and entered in to the relevant recycling programme.
Site Reduce, Re-use, Recycle
Extending the simple three point initiative to site installations of our products by providing training, available to all Contracting Partners, in order to minimise partitioning waste during installation and actively encourage site waste management plans to be adopted; utilising specialist waste management companies to collect and recycle waste partitioning materials.
