Energy saving

Energy usage monitored and broken down by area to target where savings can be made.
Roller doors installed and other measures introduced to reduce energy use.
Lighting replaced with LED units where possible.

Waste reduction

All waste segregated to minimise volume going into landfill.
Packing sizes have been reduced greatly across the range by optimising unit sizes.
Adoption of universal (common) components and pack size for all epoxy products reducing packaging, wasted materials on-site and stock holding.
Used plastic tubs / containers diverted from landfill directed toward recycling and / or waste for fuel.
Waste chemicals not viable for re-use and contaminated materials such as card, rags, used PPE all directed toward waste for fuel.

NOTE: “Altro Ltd” (“Altro”) endeavours to ensure that advice and information given in Product Data Sheets, Method Statements and Material Safety Data Sheets (all known as Product Literature) is accurate and correct. However, where Altro has no control over the selection of its products for particular applications, it is important that any prospective customer, user or specifier, satisfies him / herself that the product is suitable for the intended application. In this process, due regard should be taken of the nature and composition of the background / base and the ambient conditions both at the time of laying / applying / installing / curing of the material and when the completed work is to be brought into use.

However, as site conditions and the execution of the work are beyond our control, we accept no resultant liability.

Altro’s policy is one of continuous research and development and we reserve the right to update our products and information at any time without prior notice.
