Reducing Carbon Emissions: A Guide For Architects

Recycle

  • Ensure there is a collection agreement for recycling with cleaners and waste collection companies.
  • Everything you throw away has a carbon footprint - created through its production and ultimately its disposal.  Think about a product's end of life and look at cradle to cradle concepts.
  • Try and reduce the amount you bin - by buying less and reusing things, then recycling as much as you can of what is left
  • Buy recycled printer cartridges
  • Buy recycled printer paper and other stationery
  • Look at recycled content of furniture/ fit out
 

This has become our way of life. Our whole family are committed to doing their part by thinking about their actions in relation to decreasing their carbon footprints. Atelier Haefeli
