With tighter trade recycling rules coming into force in the spring, construction firms are having to scrutinise every area of their processes to minimise waste and reduce costs \u2013 with many choosing almost waste-free insulation materials to save money.<\/h2>\n

DEFRA\u2019s Simpler Recycling regulations, which impact businesses with more than ten employees, mean all waste products need to be separated by type and collected by a registered waste collector, with unlimited fines for organisations which repeatedly flout the rules.<\/p>\n

Even if they are not prosecuted, poorly managed waste recycling can incur costs of \u00a3118 an hour of the Environment Agency\u2019s time for dealing with any infringements or wasted journey fees applied by waste management providers for poorly sorted batches.<\/p>\n

The Actis team is growing<\/h3>\n

\u201cReducing waste in the first place is an obvious first step in ensuring a construction company both remains compliant and saves money by not wasting materials,\u201d says Mark Cooper, UK and Ireland sales director of insulation specialist Actis.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur products really do produce very little waste. Because they\u2019re flexible they can be squeezed into awkward corners, unlike when using solid alternatives where sometimes sections need to be cut off which can\u2019t be repurposed elsewhere. Because of the mass of the materials \u2013 they\u2019re very thin as they\u2019re made up from many layers of foil – the offcuts are tiny.\u201d<\/p>\n

His team is seeing a growing number of builders switching from traditional PIR board to its insulating reflective blankets to save money on material costs. And now, the added financial burden of paying for specialist recycling services and concern about being fined for non-compliance is encouraging more tradespeople to follow their lead.<\/p>\n

Case studies show customer satisfaction<\/h3>\n

Timber frame specialist Scandia-Hus, which uses Actis products in all its show homes, loves the almost complete lack of waste produced \u2013 totalling just three black bags per property!<\/p>\n

Builder Ben Wardell, from All Round Developments in York, says witnessing the litany of struggles endured by builders using PIR board or glass fibre spurred him into choosing Actis products.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince switching to Actis, we\u2019ve seen a significant reduction in waste, as every piece can be used. We\u2019ve also saved on labour time, as the material is much quicker to fit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Northamptonshire architectural designer Stuart Ellis, whose own home featured in George Clarke\u2019s TV show Remarkable Renovations, believes Actis products are the future (as well as the present!)<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing Actis products is the thinnest way to achieve the desired U-values \u2013 and it\u2019s really easy to fit. There\u2019s also less waste than PIR board, which has the added benefit of taking up very little skip space.\u201d<\/p>\n

The insulation specialist has a zero-waste policy and its products are 100% recyclable. All offcuts are recovered, crushed and reintroduced into the manufacturing process and minimal water is used during production.<\/p>\n

Actis\u2019 sustainability<\/a> credentials have been recognised by environmental bodies, with its Hybris product the only reflective insulation in Europe to have earned international Cradle to Cradle Certified\u00ae Certification.<\/p>\n

The company has also been awarded a silver medal by EcoVadis, making it among the top one per cent of companies assessed by the global sustainability and corporate social responsibility organisation in the plastics manufacturing sector.<\/p>\n
