In our strive to contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of the projects we are involved in MWAI have spent the past year quietly researching into the issues of material re-use in refurbishment projects.
We are working to establish a methodology for dealing with upcoming refurbishment projects, from assessing elements that can be re-used to cataloguing them [from steel frames to wiring to jonery], to evaluating whether they can be re-used on site or whether they are more suited to being re-cycled into the market by specialised stockists and suppliers.
