Our commitment to sustainability is deeply rooted in the 4R principles: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Recover.
These guiding principles shape our approach to environmental responsibility, driving us to innovate and implement practices that minimise waste and promote a circular economy.
Reduce
Our dedication to reducing environmental impact begins with sustainable design consultancy, supporting you to design for sustainability within your project scope. Our specialist mass casting, cast to size and blocking-up services optimise material usage, significantly minimising material waste.
By integrating bio-based raw materials into our existing tooling board formulations wherever possible, and creating new sustainability–focused solutions, we ensure that our products are both high-performing and environmentally friendly.
Our epoxy tooling board materials facilitate direct-to-part manufacturing to support carbon fibre production, streamlining your processes to reduce steps and reduce waste and energy consumption.
Reuse
Durability and longevity are at the heart of our product design philosophy. We engineer materials for extended use, ensuring they withstand the demands of repeated use in a range of applications. Our focus on the repair and reuse of tooling boards and buoyancy modules not only extends the lifecycle of our products but also empowers you to adopt sustainable practices.
We promote the repair and reuse of tooling to maximise longevity and reduce waste. Offcuts from tooling boards can be bonded together and tools and patterns skimmed and repurposed for smaller projects to maximise usage, minimise waste and reduce the use of virgin material.
Our buoyancy repair and refurbishment service is specifically designed to extend the life of your buoyancy modules, giving them a second life to ensure maximum usage and return on investment.
By prioritising materials that maintain their integrity over time, we support effective resource management and contribute to a reduction in overall waste.
Recycle
Recycling is a cornerstone of our sustainability strategy. Our innovative Recast® service provides an alternative solution for your unwanted patterns and moulds. Our focus is to increase sustainability through the circular economy, taking back used materials that are processed to make new novel materials, ideal for master models, patterns, jigs and fixtures, and reducing waste going to landfill.
Most importantly, not only is this technology creating a recycled material; it has another unique quality – the new recycled material can also be re-processed multiple times. Through such initiatives, we actively promote a circular economy, where materials are continually repurposed, reducing the need for virgin resources and minimising environmental impact.
Recast® is currently open as a pilot scheme while we continue to develop the service. If you’re interested in taking part, let's talk!
Recover
We embrace recovery strategies that convert waste into energy. By supporting waste-to-energy initiatives, we ensure that materials unsuitable for recycling are utilised to generate power, thereby reducing reliance on landfills. This approach aligns with our commitment to sustainable resource management, as it transforms potential waste into valuable energy, contributing positively to the environment and supporting the circular economy.
To us, the 4 R principles are more than guidelines—they are integral to our operations and ethos. Through continuous innovation and dedication to these principles, we strive to lead by example in the pursuit of environmental sustainability.
