At Labcraft, we are very aware of the environment and reducing our impact wherever possible, thereby maintaining our ISO14001:2004 accreditation.
The heating and hot water system is operated by an environmentally-friendly boiler whereby harvested grain is used to feed the system which reduces CO2 emissions compared to normal heating systems.
We recycle as much as possible to help reduce our carbon footprint, and shredded cardboard is used as packing instead of buying in extra materials. In addition to this, over 7,000 trees and hedge plants have been planted on our farm over the last 3 years helping to contribute to a cleaner environment.
Our latest commitment is a 10kW solar panel system which will help reduce energy costs and at the same time improve environmental performance. The 40 x Conergy 250w system has an estimated annual output of 8,392kg/a and will avoid carbon emissions by 7,394kg/a, supporting our energy efficient business credentials.
