Vaagen Timbers’ Post

Wood preservatives are often overlooked as contributing to decarbonisation of construction projects, but we are working to change this perspective through driving modern chemistry to help the many sectors that utilise timber, advance their sustainability goals. Tanalith® MF, a metal-free high-pressure wood preservative, is one such wood protection technology from our portfolio that been developed to work towards a more sustainable built environment. With the waste stream from construction being of particular concern, Tanalith® MF champions circular economy principles. Timber treated with Tanalith® MF can be reused or recycled at end of life. To further help reduce waste and fuel emissions in transportation, the wood preservative is supplied to timber treaters as a concentrate in recycled Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), which can be reused. The timber treater dilutes the Tanalith® MF concentrate with water on-site, which eradicates the need of bulk tanker transportation.

Practical Steps to Convert Wood Wastes into Mulch https://lnkd.in/dZDJRDEb

Does your business produce waste from wood packaging, timber or any other forms of wood scraps? 🪵 ✅ You can count on us to handle this waste in a compliant, sustainable and efficient way. Back in September 2023, regulations changed for wood waste. What does this mean? 🤔 Certain waste wood categories that would previously be sent to wood recyclers are now classified as hazardous waste. While this wood is typically from pre-2007 structures, these new rules mean you need to take extra care when arranging your commercial wood waste collections. Need help?

Today is World Environment Day, the perfect opportunity to consider the environmental impact of the utility poles in your grid. McWane’s ductile iron poles are made of over 96% recycled material and are 100% recyclable. Here are some other ways our ductile poles are the most sustainable option on the market:  1. Every ductile iron pole saves two to three trees from being cut down. Ductile iron lasts more than twice as long as wood poles and don’t need to be replaced as frequently, saving more trees throughout its lifecycle.  2. Pentachlorophenol is a manufactured chemical and restricted-use pesticide utilized in industrial applications such as a wood preservative for utility poles. Unlike pentachlorophenol, ductile iron is impermeable to organic contaminants, protecting clean water from environmental spills and the environment from contaminants in wastewater.  3. Ductile iron poles weigh less than wood poles and are much lighter than concrete. Because ductile iron is so lightweight and does not require as much energy and fuel to transport, they reduce carbon emissions and lower transportation costs.  Learn more about our commitment to sustainability at https://lnkd.in/eQnqHUdY  #setitandforgetit #ironstrong

🔝 Sustainability in Foundries: How Sand Reclamation Cuts Costs and Saves Resources 🔝 ➡ In the foundry industry, the costs of new sand and the disposal of used sand are continuously rising. At the same time, there’s growing pressure to adopt environmentally friendly and resource-efficient processes. One solution that addresses both challenges is sand reclamation. ➡ What is Sand Reclamation? Reclaiming used sand makes it reusable, reducing the need for new sand. This not only saves costs but also lessens the environmental impact. ➡ Why is This Important? Cost Reduction: Reclaimed sand decreases expenses for new sand and reduces disposal costs. Sustainability: Less waste and more recycling mean a lower environmental footprint. ➡ Reclamation improves yield and enhances production quality. ➡ With sand reclamation, operating costs can be reduced while meeting environmental goals.
