Environmental Initiatives

On-site recycling

  • At the centre, we have several recycling streams including cardboard, clothing, wood, metal and fluorescent lighting tubes.
  • Each year we exceed 60% onsite recycling.

Energy Efficiency

  • Our recently installed voltage optimiser has reduced overall consumption of electricity by 12%.
  • We have a wide variety of measures in place such as switch off lights reminders, half hourly meter reading monitoring and have recently installed energy efficient Dyson hand dryers in our toilet facilities. Our toilets also have automatic shut-off taps, variable flush units and water saver cisterns.
