Resource Conservation

Why is this important?

A circular economy will ensure future generations have natural resource security, not scarcity. This is essential for a good quality of life. 

Our ambitions for 2030

We will use lifecycle assessments to demonstrate we have reduced our demand for natural resources.

Making this happen

• We have reduced raw material consumption in our extruded brick range by altering the perforation design.
• Our waste strategy, developed in 2016, has helped us divert waste from landfill and increase recycling rates. We will now focus on waste prevention and diverting waste from both landfill and incineration.
• We will explore alternative business models to further reduce resource consumption

What's next?

We will revise our resource management strategy to support the achievement of our water and waste reduction targets: 

• 15% reduction of water consumption in own production (2023 – 2026) 
• 15% reduction of waste on production sites (2023 – 2026)
