With over 25 years’ expertise as London’s longest-established design and build company, we’ve worked on an incredibly diverse range of innovative workspace fit-outs, right across the UK.
We place sustainability at the heart of our work, with special processes in place to drastically minimise the waste we produce — with one big, bold aim in particular.
Why the design & build industry should aim for zero waste
Landfill waste seems like an inevitability of life.
Every year, a whopping 14 million tonnes of waste wings its way to landfill from UK households. Indeed, if you’re an ‘average person’, you’ll send about 225kg of waste there each year.
Businesses create even more waste — to the eye-watering tune of 41.1 million tonnes. With landfill tax rates increasing, there’s a new case for keeping things as green as possible.
Many waste management companies operate a ‘waste-to-energy’ process — landfill waste is instead incinerated to create electricity. Although preferable, each tonne of waste that is burned releases between 0.7 and 1.7 tonnes of carbon dioxide — the much-maligned, global warming-inducing greenhouse gas.
To completely eliminate your landfill contribution is the solution, but it seems like an impossible task. However, at Denton, it’s exactly what we’re aiming for.
Our mission? Zero landfill waste on all fit-outs.
