How we’re reducing our impact on the environment
–
To meet the challenges of climate change, new builds must be well insulated and made with natural, low-impact materials that don’t produce lots of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gas emissions during the manufacturing process.
At Healy and Mangan, every single piece of wood that passes through our hands can be fully traced back to its source. We know where it grew, when it was felled and which mill it came from.
We build solid relationships with our suppliers so our customers can rely on us to supply the same high-quality grade of wood time and time again.
By its nature, carpentry uses timber as its core material. By choosing the best, most trusted wood materials, applying the best processes, and applying common-sense efficiencies, less waste is guaranteed.
We prefer to use traditional materials that offer sizable environmental benefits. Our materials are sourced from a range of trusted Irish suppliers, which also reduces the carbon footprint in terms of reduced transport costs from overseas.
We triple-check materials for quality and durability to ensure long-lasting life span, plus where possible the manufacturing process incorporates environmentally beneficial best practices.
The visible signs of climate change are influencing the minds of our consumers. Increasingly, consumers are looking for sustainable products that last a lifetime. At Healy and Mangan, we actively try to promote sustainability methods as a company by:
- Waste Management – a focus on reducing waste and responsible management of compostable and recyclable waste materials
- Prioritising local projects, thereby reducing our transport needs and carbon footprint
- Using Irish manufactured products and sustaining local supply chains, where possible
- Reducing our use of paper by moving towards paperless quotations and billing
- Moving towards more sustainable and Less impactful materials.
