New Eurobond CPD on fire performance
Eurobond new RIBA approved CPD seminar focuses on true fire performance of composite panel systems.
Eurobond's sophisticated production line has been developed to produce almost 0% raw material waste, and partnering with suppliers such as Sika has been key to this impressive statistic.
Darren Stewart, Commercial Manager, at Eurobond said: "Sika supplies its product in bulk, recyclable containers that allow as much of the contents as possible to be extracted".
"After use the empty packaging is collected from site for re-use, meaning no waste is introduced into the process and the environmental impact is minimised as much as possible".
Eurobond works with each of its suppliers in this way.
Any steel or mineral wool offcuts are also collected by suppliers, for recycling back at plant.
Darren continues: "The focus is on manufacturers to look at every means possible to limit their environmental impact".
"We're extremely proud of our processes, and we demand the same level of commitment from our suppliers".
"It's the only way to make a difference.".
