Dams have recently invested heavily in new packaging technology and processes to reduce our dependence on cardboard packaging, this has also helped to reduce waste through damages. The aim is to avoid the environmental expense of replacing damaged goods whilst avoiding/minimising the environmental expense of waste packaging. Our installation teams return all packaging to the company for recycling once the installation is complete.
To avoid using landfill sites and incinerators our waste products like cardboard, paper, wood and plastic are separated for recycling. Dams head office use waste wood from the factory to power the central heating system. This reduces the need to burn polluting fossil fuels.To reduce waste even further we have worked closely with our suppliers to reduce the amount of component and finished product packaging arriving at the company’s factories. This reduces waste and the overall weight of the packaged product this helps to reduce fuels costs and the carbon footprint of finished products, during transit.
At the end of every desk’s working life Dams can recycle the product thanks to our policy of working with ecologically sound materials and suppliers. Our desks can be separated into their constituent parts and returned to our suppliers for reprocessing and recycling.
Every day Dams help prevent thousands of tonnes of post consumer recycled wood going to landfill sites in the UK.
Each year approximately 111 million tonnes of controlled waste (household, commercial and industrial waste) are disposed of in landfill sites in the UK.
