OUR COMMITMENTS: TO THE PLANET
"BEING GREEN TODAY WILL HELP PROTECT TOMORROW"
We listened to what architects wanted, and we are on the road to delivering. At the moment, there is a strong need for manufacturing firms which take sustainability seriously; we have spent the past two years working and developing on a rigorous environmental strategy to ensure we’re the go-to manufacturer for sustainable high-quality rainscreen and façade products.
SUSTAINABILITY TIMELINE
WHAT WE'VE ACHIEVED
A CARBON NEUTRAL STATUS
In 2021, we worked alongside the team at Blue Marble, a planet impact management firm, who walked us through a realistic strategy for BTS’ sustainable future.
The team enabled us to gain a carbon neutral status through a verified carbon off-setting scheme, after helping us establish our scope one, two and three emissions, so we could calculate our carbon footprint.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATIONS
We were one of the first manufacturing companies to gain Environmental Product Declarations on our products. EPDs are internationally accepted, third-party verified documents which
provide detailed and transparent information about a product’s environmental impact during its life cycle, from raw material extraction, to use and disposal.
The EPDs highlight our Vantage System’s environmental performance in accordance with EN 15804+A2, ISO 14025, and ISO 21930 standards.
ZERO WASTE
Our factory officially produces no rubbish – everything is recycled. Our waste is collected by specialists who properly recycle all our unwanted material or transform it into alternative renewable energy sources.
