Most of the rubber in tyres comes from small plantations in Southeast Asia. #PEFCisHere working with rubber smallholders and #SupportingSustainableRubber to protect tropical forests and the threatened and vulnerable species that call them home.
#DYK that being in a timber #building is good for our health? Incorporating timber into a building can help reduce stress and blood pressure. By choosing PEFC-certified wood for your project, you can also help keep our forests healthy. #DesigningTheFutureWithSustainableTimber
#DYK that every m3 of wood binds a ton of CO2? Timber is the only truly renewable #construction material we know. Just make sure it comes from a sustainably managed, PEFC-certified forest, that absorbs and stores the optimum amount of CO2. #DesigningTheFutureWithSustainableTimber
While other #construction materials emit large amounts of CO2, #wood does the opposite: it stores carbon, even after a tree has been harvested. Replacing steel and concrete with wood could reduce global CO2 emissions by 31%. #DesigningTheFutureWithSustainableTimber
It's all happening at Cossham Hospital in Kingswood, where we are constructing a two-storey extension to the Diagnostic Imaging Department for @NorthBristolNHS. The external brick work is continuing, and the roof steels have been installed. #MakingItHappen
It was a pleasure to be invited to @CefnSaesonComp this morning to do a Morganstone takeover of their Yr 11 Construction class. We had such a warm welcome ๐. Our Operations and Project Manager really enjoyed taking center stage. @NPTCouncil@CareersWales#programmemanagement
