Environmental Policy

“Timber is the most environmentally friendly construction material. When we grow trees we help the world we live in by producing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide. When we use wood we help slow the growth of global warming because wood uses far less energy to produce and build with than any other material and because homes built with wood are more thermally efficient, so need less energy to heat.”

RW Joinery actively promotes their environmental policy and business strategy by following these ideals;

Refusing to work with timbers that are not from managed forests and have been classified at protected (with the exception of using reclaimed timbers)
Liase with clients and specifiers as early as possible to guide in the effective use of timbers & assembly methods
Order timbers from recognised bona-fide suppliers who promote managed timber usage
Order timbers from our workshops with minimal waste
Omit from all deliveries unnecessary packaging and protection
Recycle our waste materials

RW Joinery have invested heavily in a wood burning boiler & heating system. We have cut our gas fuel requirement by over 75%. We have cut our waste product by over 80% and reduced our shavings waste costs by 100%. We recycle our paper. We send all of our printer & copier cartridges to a charity for recycling.
