Sustainability is a core value at RW Armstrong, which led to the launch of a partnership with the Community Wood Recycling project in 2023. Community Wood Recycling is a network of social enterprises dedicated to conserving resources while creating jobs and training opportunities for disadvantaged individuals. Excess wood from our projects is securely stored on site and collected by Community Wood Recycling, where it is carefully sorted for reuse or recycling. This initiative provides an environmentally responsible solution for waste management, conserving valuable resources, reducing energy use and pollution, combating climate change, and supporting individuals in returning to employment. In 2024, through this partnership, RW Armstrong diverted 27 tonnes of wood from the waste stream, with 4.8 tonnes reused and 22.2 tonnes recycled, resulting in a savings of 13 tonnes of CO2 emissions. #familybusiness #buildingforgenerations #wooddonations #recycling #reusing #sustainability #finequalitybuilding #craftsmanship
I’m so proud of the site teams who worked with me and Zoe C. on this initiative! They’ve really made a difference.
