3. GREEN ZONE
Part of BCL „s environmental policy is to reduce our carbon footprint.
As well as a monthly forum to discuss how to help save energy and re-
duce wastage our staff have recently undergone a training session to
heighten awareness and see if any ideas came through.
One issue was the disposal of chipboard used in the manufacturing for
office furniture such as desks , cupboards and cabinets.
A Solution for this waste is that the chipboard is broken down , remov-
ing any metallic items like screws and handles, then mix the chipboard
with other products to produce soil improvers and topsoil.
BCL have also been able to provide the Barnardo‟s childrens charity with
some second hand furniture , and hope to continue this on a regular
basis.
Another charity benefiting from used furniture is The Inventors forum,
who sell on, and also distribute items to prospective inventors.
